DCP’s 20th Anniversary!!

The Dolphin Communication Project (DCP) is 20 years old! John Anderson, Director of Terramar Productions and long-time collaborator and supporter of DCP, created (filmed, edited, produced) a celebratory film for DCP’s 20th anniversary!

Grab a beverage and some popcorn and join Kathleen, Kel, and our team of supporters, collaborators, and students as we remember the “early days” and share how we began, where we’ve been, and what we envision for the future! Thank you to everyone who has made the past 20 years possible!

DCP Dolphin Lesson: the RIMS Bottlenose Dolphin Q&A

In this Dolphin Lesson, Dr. Kathleen meets up with Teri Bolton from the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences (RIMS). You may remember Ms. Teri and the RIMS bottlenose dolphins in our May 5th webinar and we’re excited to cover even more bottlenose dolphin information in this next Lesson.

Dolphin Lessons are geared toward ages 6-13. Nothing to do in advance – just watch and learn!

You can find our earlier webinars here on the Education tab of the DCP website.

Bimini 2020 Research Season – Sort Of

By late June, I would have hoped for close to 30 days on the water, searching for the Atlantic spotted and bottlenose dolphins off Bimini.
