Do dolphins in Sarasota live there year round?

Mar 16, 2011 No comments By Blair Irvine

 

Yes. A 5-generation community of dolphins has been identified in the Sarasota Bay area. They summer in shallow inshore waters, and move more into passes between barrier islands and along Gulf of Mexico beaches  in the winter. Different dolphin communities have been identified to the north, to the south, and offshore of the Sarasota Bay community.

About the author

I manage the SDRP website, serve as President of the Dolphin Biology Research Institute, and otherwise volunteer as needed. I started the SDRP in 1970 with then High School student Randy Wells, and I led the research through the 70’s. Randy took over in the early 80s when I changed careers. Since then, my non-dolphin interests mostly have been in the area of human behavioral health. With NIH support, much of my research has involved Internet interventions and training programs. My graduate degrees are in Zoology (MS), Exercise Physiology (MAPE), and Health Education (PhD).
