Project Description
This project supported understanding and restoration of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) through the synthesis of existing data to describe the physiological and biological responses to low salinity exposures. Activities included compilation and evaluation of data, development and implementation of models, conducting expert analysis, and completing a report of findings from this effort.
