Imagine you are a marine biologist working in the crystalline, turquoise waters of the Bahamas.
Sunlight dances off the rippled , white sand banks.
From the dazzling coral reefs of the Bahamas to thewind-swept seas of Patagonia, Dolphins takes audiences on an underwater adventure with inquisitive Atlantic spotted dolphins, acrobatic dusky dolphins, and the familiar bottlenose dolphin. While most of what we know about dolphins comes from studying them in captivity, Dudzinski and her colleagues conduct their research with dolphins in the wild, a far more strenuous, time-consuming, even dangerous endeavor. Employing innovative scientific methods and technology, Kathleen and her colleagues set out to learn more about how dolphins communicate and their foraging and social behaviors. Audiences may be surprised to witness firsthand how scientific progress is made in inches and not miles, and how the slow accumulation of scientific data is passed on, and expanded upon, from one generation of scientists to the next. Dolphins is produced by MacGillivray Freeman Films in association with the National Wildlife Federation , the nation's largest member-supported conservation group, and with major funding provided by the National Science Foundation and Museum Film Network .
