The Dolphin Communication Project (DCP, www.dolphincommunicationproject.org) is currently seeking students (currently enrolled, non-matriculated or recent grads) for two different programs in Bimini, The Bahamas, during summer 2022. Program details are listed below. DCP's mission is to promote the scientific study of dolphins and inspire their conservation. With research ongoing since 1991, our questions focus primarily on communication and behavior among dolphins. Our Bimini, The Bahamas, research site is where we study wild Atlantic spotted and bottlenose dolphins, maintaining photo-ID catalogs with over 300 individuals. A full publication list is available on our website <https://www.dolphincommunicationproject.org/index.php/about-dolphins/scientific-publications>. All programs may qualify for academic credit, however it is the student's responsibility to arrange this with their home institution. DCP can provide a letter confirming participation and contact hours. Additional reading material and/or assignments can be assigned for the ecotour option.
