FEATURED STORY

Celebrating 50 years of dolphin research, conservation, and education.

On Oct. 3, 1970, researcher Blair Irvine attached the first tags on Sarasota bottlenose dolphins, beginning what would become the world’s longest-running study of a wild dolphin population — today known as the Chicago Zoological Society’s Sarasota Dolphin Research Program. This year, we’re celebrating our golden anniversary.
