I believe they are associated with the Global Heart new age spiritual movement. Which would explain the, fringe site. I see the dolphin research efforts on the news from time to time given that I am in FL and I spend a lot of time in the keys. Other people in marine research in FL treat them like a legitimate organization, doing legitimate research, but their site reveals their bias http://speakdolphin.com/home.cfm . Take it with a grain of salt but I don't know if the conspiracy site is reflective of their organization. It may be a little unfair that their message is being carried in that light. While some members of the organization may subscribe to such beliefs, it may not be all of the organization. There is most definitely marine animal conservation ambitions which is a big bias in favor of dolphins being intelligent.
