Sarasota Dolphin Research Program
Hi All,
Here is an interesting article I found on the web, how the Mote’s Sarasota Dolphin Research Program study a wild dolphin since 1971. Unfortunately this dolphin called “FBS”, died May 22 of this year.
The article starts with…
A female wild dolphin monitored for 38 years by the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program based at Mote Marine Laboratory died May 22, leaving behind two documented generations of offspring to continue her legacy. < Read More>
I found this article really interesting for the fact that they tracked this dolphin for 38 years and how tough her life was out there in the open ocean in the later years of her life. But she did have a big family which was really nice.
There are some human similarities because FBS was so close to her dolphin pods during her early years and then alone at the end. Isn’t that how we treat our seniors too? Where many of our seniors are alone and without any family.
What do you think of this research? Was it worth the time and effort?
God Bless,
John
