Learn about dolphins in the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers in Long Time, No Sea: Bottlenose Dolphins in the Chesapeake Bay, November 8 from 7:00-8:00 pm.
Chesapeake DolphinWatch launched its app in 2017 to engage Bay residents and visitors in a research program studying when dolphins visit Chesapeake Bay and where they go. Since then, the DolphinWatch team has gathered incredible information on dolphin presence, distribution, and behavior in our estuary. In this seminar, Project Coordinator Jamie Testa will discuss the research findings from the first 5 years of DolphinWatch, how graduate students at UMCES Chesapeake Biological Laboratory are advancing dolphin research in Chesapeake Bay, and future plans for the research.
This lecture is presented as part of UMCES Chesapeake Biological Laboratory’s Science for the Community seminar series. These public programs invite members of the public to discover how our scientists are developing new approaches to solving the environmental challenges facing Maryland, our nation, and the world.
