Dolphins of the Chesapeake Bay

Little is known about how often dolphins come into the Chesapeake Bay, how long they spend there, what areas they are using and why. The DolphinWatch team has been detecting dolphin calls in the Bay and citizen scientists have reported more than 1,000 dolphin sightings since 2017 on the Chesapeake DolphinWatch mobile app and website.

The Maryland Natural History Society presents Amber Fandel and Lauren Rodriguez, members of the DolphinWatch team, to share what they have learned about the Bay’s dolphins so far, describe the sighting app, and explain how you can participate in this research effort.
