In their lifetimes, our children have seen more dolphins than they can count.  Each time we are on the water, our kiddos spy these beautiful mammals and wait in eager anticipation for them to breach the water’s surface.  My hope is that they will always be thrilled at the site of a dolphin.

If your family loves dolphins as we do, there is a tremendous service opportunity scheduled for April  28th.  Below, you will find all of the details from the Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network:

“Interested in being a scientist for a day? Join Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network, partnered with the South Carolina Aquarium, for our first citizen scientist event. Come help us count dolphins around Charleston Harbor. Designated land-based stations will be set around the harbor. Pick a station and help us count dolphins, learn about data collection and why it’s important to protect our water neighbors! Three counts at 9, 10 and 11 am. Join for 1 or all 3. All ages welcome and photographers encouraged! Please arrive a few minutes before each count to receive instructions and training. Each count will start promptly at the half hour. There will be a sign up posted soon.”
