 DCP is now accepting applications for summer 2009 field interns.  From June – August, interns will spend 6-8 weeks at our Connecticut, USA office and 3-4 weeks at our Bimini, The Bahamas field site.  Applications must be received by 15 February 2009. 

 With the 2008 Bimini research season behind us, we have been busy logging videos, identifying photographs and preparing for 2009 programs.  We look forward to a year-round presence in Bimini for 2009 which will allow us to opportunistically observe the dolphins in the "off-season" as well as during the busy summer months.
