"Protect Wild Dolphins" License Plate Sales To Fund Wild Dolphin Research Efforts Throughout Florida

erwater and is invisible to most people. One aspect of Harbor Branch's Dolphin Educational Program will be to foster a better understanding of Florida's coastal areas and the interdependence of its aquatic plants and animals. "Simply stated," advises Harbor Branch's Dolphin Research Director, Marilyn Mazzoil, "clean water promotes healthy seagrasses, which harbor the food supply of the dolphin."

Dolphin Research
Finprinting is a means by which each dolphin can be identified and catalogued. A highly specialized software program (similar to the FBI's fingerprint matching system), currently under development, will allow researchers to input images for immediate identification of individual dolphins, thus expediting the entire process of comparative photo-id analysis throughout the State of Florida and the entire U.S. eastern seaboard. Combined with the latest digital technologies, this process will greatly enhance the ability to disseminate data to the scientific community and the public.

Rehabilitation
According to Dolphin Program Director Stephen McCulloch, "Since 1974, there have been more than 3,100 recorded marine mammal strandings throughout the state of Florida." Funding from the sale of the "Protect Wild Dolphins" license plate will also help provide much needed funding to other nonprofit organizations and agencies actively involved in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick or injured dolphins.
