Rough Seas
The winds were too high and the seas too rough to conduct any field work today, so we cleaned up the field station and prepared for our return trip. Two of the Argentinean students who have worked in our Sarasota lab over the past two years (Leo and Carpì) will remain in San Blas for another week to conduct photographic identification surveys, using the methodology they learned in Sarasota. They plan to return at intervals through the year to document identifiable dolphins and monitor our tagged dolphins.
Dolphins Remain Inside Bay
All four of the dolphins were again inside the bay this morning, with the first two we tagged, Tunken and Kure, moving together (the 2 red dots farthest to the left). The other two dolphins, the female, Kona (warrior in Mapuche) and the male, Nahuel (jaguar in Mapuche) were in the same general area, but did not appear to be together.
