В рамках нашего проекта (DCP) мы изучаем коммуникацию, социальное поведение и когнитивные способности дельфинов. Результаты наших исследований мы внедряем в интерактивные образовательные программы для «детей» любого возраста. Мы сотрудничаем с учеными из разных стран, работающими в различных направлениях (в области акустики, популяционной динамики и т.д.).

Мы проводим продолжительные наблюдения за дельфинами в четырех исследовательских центрах: Бимини, на Багамах; Остров Микура, в Японии; Роатан, в Гондурасе и Ниссау, на Багамах.

Программа на Багамах

С 1991 года Дудзински (Dudzinski) наблюдала и фиксировала поведение атлантических пятнистых дельфинов (Stenella frontalis) на севере Острова Гранд на Багамах (Grand Bahamas Island).

Что такое DCP?
Программа по изучению коммуникации дельфинов (далее по тексту DCP) сосредоточена на двух аспектах: научных исследованиях и обучении. Мы распространяем результаты исследовательских проектов в ходе образовательных программ для людей любого возраста. В нашей программе принимают участие квалифицированные специалисты, аспиранты, стажеры колледжей и университетов, а также волонтеры. Они совместно изучают то, как дельфины обмениваются информацией друг с другом, чтобы пролить свет на взаимоотношения между отдельными особями и группами.

Terramar Productions is a multi-media company that has worked with DCP for more than seven years.  Many of othe videos on DCP’s web site were filmed, edited and produced by John Anderson at Terramar Productions.

Abstract:
Experimental work has provided initial evidence that dolphins are able to use the information present in click echoes generated from the echolocation of conspecifics to succeed in object detection and discrimination tasks.

DCP is pleased to annouced that a new book from Kathleen M. Dudzinski (director of the Dolphin Communication project) and Toni Frohoff from Yale University Press will be available in October 2008.
“Dolphin Mysteries: Unlocking the secrets of communication”.

Our book is about dolphin-dolphin and dolphin-human communication and is written for a general audience. We present accurate facts about dolphins generally and about their communication and cognition with conservation as well. We illustrate our text with stories from our field experiences. Our book is six chapters and about 250 pages.

Meeting Dolphins: My Adventures in the Sea
By Kathleen Dudzinski

 

Meeting Dolphins is one of two companion books from National Geographic Books that tie in to the MacGillivray Freeman Films large format production DOLPHINS. The adult book, Dolphins, by Tim Cahill chronicles research by Dudzinski, Bernd Würsig and Alejandro Acevedo in the Bahamas, Japan and Patagonia, Argentina. Meeting Dolphins, written by Kathleen Dudzinski, is targeted to children ages eight and older. In her own words, Kathleen tells her story of swimming with dolphins to observe them and to learn how they communicate in the wild.

What the heck is a Podcast?
Podcasts are audio and video files that you can download to your computer and listen to whenever you want. The name ‘podcast’ is a bit misleading – you do not need an iPod to listen to a podcast; anyone with a computer and an internet connection can download podcasts. Podcasts often sound a lot like a traditional radio broadcasts, but style and content vary depending on the subject matter. For instance; NPR offers podcasts of their popular radio programs, MIT provides podcasts of lectures for undergraduate classes.
