Dolphin Day

Dolphin Day

By |

Today my friend Sherry and I rode over to Destin, Florida to attend a fundraiser for the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge. The event was on a wild dolphin cruise and was very nice. Following are images taken from the day with a complete album posted on my Facebook page. Raising awareness of these magnificent animals is vital to their survival given the high number of boats that use these waters. Two babies have been killed from boat strikes this year in that area. I witnessed a boat and a jet ski corralling wild dolphins…a mother and calf…and wonder perhaps if there could be volunteers who monitor human behavior and actions near the dolphins to keep them safe…like the volunteers at Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge with manatee protection and visitor management.

  3. Simone…very nice to meet you…ur shots turned very nice indeed…I did not see the jetskies you spoke of…but, I believe Humans need help with common sense….

  4. Nice meeting you and Shelly. The boat and jet ski was before we went out into the Gulf…our first mom and baby encounter. Our captain had the boat out of gear. The smaller boat cut in front of us and a jet ski closed in from the right….with an infant I thought it was very uncool.
