Sarasota Dolphin Research Program

The Sarasota Dolphin Research Program is a long-term study focused on bottlenose dolphins in Sarasota Bay, Florida. It aims to understand dolphin health, behavior, and ecology through detailed observation and research. By tracking individual dolphins over many years, scientists learn about their lifespan, social structures, and how environmental changes or human actions impact them. The program provides valuable insights into dolphin conservation and helps inform policies to protect these intelligent marine mammals and their habitats.
