Adopt A Dolphin and Help Support our Dolphin Research Efforts
Faculty News, Faculty Research
Protecting Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins just became a little easier and a lot more
fun, thanks to the Adopt A Dolphin initiative conducted by USCB’s Lowcountry Dolphin
Conservation Program and the Coastal Discovery Museum. Many of the dolphins who play
in the May River, Port Royal Sound or off the beach have been identified and tracked
by USCB scientists who have given them interesting names. As an added bonus, fully
60 percent of the profits from the Adopt A Dolphin initiative are directed to the
research program run by Eric Montie, Ph.D., associate professor of Biology and director
of the Marine Sensory & Neurobiology Lab at USCB. The funds help to support students
and interns, and help defray the cost of research supplies.
