UPDATES & DOLPHIN DORSAL FIN VEINS

April's dolphin Photo ID sightings under NOAA Fisheries protected species research permit No. 779-1633-00. We were out on the water 6 days and had 19 sightings with a total of 294 individual dolphins.
Under the NC Monofilament Recovery  and Recycling Program, staff at Camp LeJuene installed 18 outdoor bins on their military base.
We've been busy with strandings.
Since this is a really short update, I thought I would add something interesting.
Here is an x-ray of the interior vascular structure of a dolphin's dorsal fin.

Abnormally large, lumpy veins. Caused by poor circulation which results in the blood accumulates in the veins and stretching the walls of the veins.
