Dolphin Health Assessments, July 2018 - Barataria Bay, Louisiana

We again had a great opportunity to work with the ​Consortium for Advanced Research on Marine Mammal Health Assessments (CARMMHA) this July in the nearshore coastal waters of Louisiana.  This ongoing bottlenose dolphin health assessment project has been a critical source of data on the health of marine mammals affected by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, while also serving as an important collaboration for HAB toxin-related projects taking place in our lab.
