Blog Challenge #1: Welcome to the Dolphin Project!
Hello Dolphin Explorers!
I hope you are enjoying week one of the program, especially seeing our newborns swimming and playing around!! My name is Kristen (I'm the one holding the camera) and I will be posting blog challenges for you to do either in school if your teachers allow computer access or at home with your parents to show them what you will be learning as well! This first one will help us get to know you and what you think about the marine environment, there are no wrong answers!
Have a fun time posting your response using the "comment" button below...
Blog Challenge #1:
What state do you live in?

Have you ever seen a wild dolphin before this Program?

Female Crab and Mangroves
Breaking News:
We pulled up a crab trap recently and it had a female stone crab with eggs. The females can actually hold 500,000 to one MILLION eggs! Although only a small percentage actually survives to adulthood. We also found tiny snails on the red mangrove roots!

We witnessed our older male pair bond, Bangle and Finch, both catch large fish (jack) along the Isle of Capri seawall! They used the barrier feeding technique by creating waves along the wall trapping fish against it!

There I am taking video and photos at the scene along with intern Rachelle and Captain Michael who was positioning the boat!
