NMMF Scientific Snapshot - Echolocation in Bottlenose Dolphins

NMMF’s Katie Christman, Research Associate with our Biologic & Bioacoustic Research team, will discuss echolocation, specifically in bottlenose dolphins, which allows them to navigate and forage accurately in low visibility waters. This presentation will focus on why dolphin echolocation is important to study and how understanding it can lead to better conservation efforts for all echolocating species that live in our oceans. We will also explore how echolocation is successfully researched when the sound that dolphins use during echolocation is well outside the range of human hearing.
