About This Activity
Discover the ocean from a dolphin's perspective, unveiling their unique perceptions and social dynamics. Explore their hunting strategies, feeding habits, and the diverse species that call the Gulf of Mexico home. We’ll learn about their use of echolocation and unique cognitive abilities. We’ll observe dolphin skulls and mammal bones, then head to the beach to fish like a dolphin would. This class is all about fun in the waves; think monofin races, body surfing, and board surfing. We’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the conservation of this charismatic megafauna as we explore the threats they face in the wild. Maybe we’ll even be lucky enough to encounter a playful pod in the Gulf!
