Cedar Key Dolphin Project
Led by Stefanie K. Gazda · Biology
What we study
The Cedar Key Dolphin Project studies the bottlenose dolphins of Cedar Key, Florida: their social structure, feeding behavior and habitat use, starting from a rare feeding behavior in which dolphins split into roles. The project's goal is dolphin conservation through research, collaboration and education, with boat-based fieldwork.
