Old friends

Today we found some of our old friends. Hook and Emily. Two big males. Emily was named prior to figuring she was a he. :) We have been following these two guys since 1999. It was great to see that they were both healthy and still hanging around near Key West.

Since we have been in the field, we have been concerned because we have seen very few of the members of the Key West community of dolphins. We are especially worried because what is new is that a local watersports company has basically blocked the entrance to a pass used by these dolphins with watersports vessels and equipment. We will keep you posted about this issue as we continue our field work.
