Chilly Monday Morning Surprise

After a couple very windy months we finally got out on the water for an unexpected shakedown Florida day of permitted dolphin ID work.  It’s not unusual to see bottlenose dolphins, and even Atlantic spotted dolphins on occasion. Sure enough a group of bottlenose dolphins were sighted and with them a very special treat, a humpback whale.  This is an unusual sighting along our coast but if you happen to spot a whale on the water, please remember to call the Whale Sighting Hotline. WHALE-HELP (877-942-5343) to report it. And remember to keep your distance with any whales and dolphins, as they are sometimes an endangered species and all are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act in the U.S.
