From the film makers who brought you The Living Sea and Everest comes an underwater adventure from the banks of the Bahamas to the sea of Argentina and in between. A journey to learn and understand dolphins, their elegant and complex communication, and their connections to their watery world. MacGillivray Freeman Films in association with the National Wildlife Foundation produced the film.

Dudzinski, K. (1996) Communication and Behavior in the Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella frontalis): Relationships Between Vocal and Behavioral Activities.
The University of Connecticut
Abstract:
This work presents a description of behaviors and vocalizations of freeranging Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) in Bahamian waters.The objective is to elucidate mechanisms of intraspecific communication in these dolphins by interpretation of associations between vocal structures, social context, and observed behaviors. The ultimate goal is to evaluate communication and behavior of spotted dolphins in order to eventually understand how an aquatic mammal’s sensory abilities permit it to adapt to an environment foreign to terrestrial mammals.

Below are dolphin science books that DCP recommends if you’re interested in learning more about dolphins.

The Dolphin Communication Project studies a group of Atlantic spotted dolphins living near the island of Bimini in The Bahamas. Using a special video camera equipped with underwater microphones (i.e., hydrophones), we are able to record their behavior as well as the myriad of sounds they produce. Our equipment makes it possible for us to determine which dolphin is producing which vocalization.

Using a special video camera equipped with underwater microphones (i.e., hydrophones), we are able to record their behavior as well as the myriad of sounds they produce. We have selected a recording of one of the most common sounds produced by the Bimini dolphins – a whistle – and converted it into audio files that you (the proud parent of one of the Bimini dolphins) can now download to your computer, mp3 player or cellular phone.

Thank you for having adopted a wild dolphin with the Dolphin Communication Project. On this page you will find information on how to register your adopted dolphin, and how to download a recording of a dolphin vocalization.
