Warmer water is driving bottlenose dolphins to the Bay Area coast, and you can help the Marine Mammal Center with its research of the species.
So what’s driving the species up to our coast line? Bill Keener, research associate with the Marine Mammal Center, explains in the interview.
Unfortunately, not all animals do well with climate change and adapting to new environments, but bottlenose dolphins are very smart and have been able to find different food sources around here like salmon—something they can't get off of San Diego or Baja California. And as Keener mentioned, the dolphins are here to stay. But the Marine Mammal Center actually needs our help with their research. The center is asking the public to take a pictures of the dolphins and send them to its database. Even if you snap a picture of their dorsal fins, scientists may be able to match it to something in their catalog.
