About OFFICIAL PAGE. Ric OBarrys Dolphin Project is an Earth Island campaign which encompasses Rics work around the world as he saves dolphins from slaughter and exploitation. Mission The goal of Ric O’Barry’s Dolphin Project is to put an end to dolphin exploitation and slaughter once and for all. Dolphins are regularly captured, harassed, slaughtered and sold into captivity around the world – all in the name of profit.
