[CINC] bottlenose dolphin problems

[Carolyn McCleskey]

The Bottlenose Dolphins we observed on Friday below the Douglas Preserve were
free of any skin lesions  and had healthy calves as well.  Carolyn

Hi Deb.
 
The California Coastal Dolphin Project is bona fide research effort based in Monterey Bay. The information is all accurate albeit presented on an overly dramatic manner to elicit donations. I am not sure about the photos. There are studies about skin lesions in nearshore bottlenose dolphins in California but I have not seen anything this dramatic before. I have neither seen such lesions in animals in the wild nor have I seen published photos like these.
 
Take care,
 
Bernardo

Does anyone know if the information on this website is accurate?
