Free The Atlanta 11 Mission Statement:

( A 501 C3 (Pending) Non Profit Organization)

We will educate, monitor, and heighten public awareness about Dolphin captivity at the Georgia Aquarium with the ultimate goal of ending cetacean captivity.

Five Guiding Principles:

1. We oppose the exploitation of Dolphins for any reason including "entertainment," "swim-with,"  and other profitable excuses.  We believe all rhetoric proclaiming that dolphins are "happy" in captivity should cease.  We are opposed to Dolphins used for breeding purposes while in captivity.  We are asking that the current eleven dolphins held at the Georgia Aquarium be released carefully back to the oceans, via a planned release program, where they belong.
2. We believe that human beings respond with a kind heart and are concerned about Dolphin captivity and lost dignity when they learn about captivity issues.  We base our literature on scientific facts and published research from credible authors.  We monitor the number of Dolphins at the Georgia Aquarium and keep a watchful eye on them and their environment.
3. We support rehabilitation and release-to-the-wild of all captive cetaceans and large fish, including whale sharks, who are currently held at the Georgia Aquarium and other marine mammal venues across the globe.
4. We cooperate with and support US and international organizations, public and private, who oppose exploitation of cetaceans.
5. Our immediate goal is to see a United States ban on cetacean captivity.  Our ultimate goal is to see an international ban on cetacean captivity.  Thus done, our work will be complete, and this organization will cease to operate.
