| | Introduction | | | | The Health and Risk Assessment (HERA) Bottlenose Dolphin Project was initiated in 2003 by researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Ocean Service and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. The HERA Dolphin Project is a comprehensive, integrated, multi-disciplinary research program designed to assess overall dolphin health and environmental and anthropogenic stressors that may affect health and long-term viability. Standardized and comprehensive protocols are being used to understand dolphin health, the top-predator of coastal ecosystems in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), FL and Charleston (CHS), SC. This study is focusing on developing tools and techniques to better assess the health of bottlenose dolphins and to identify health threats and develop linkages to possible environmental stressors. This symposium will highlight studies by multiple HERA investigators who will report on their findings from a wide range of disciplines such as emerging disease, pathology, biomarkers, contaminants, and immunology. | | | | Workshop Details | | | Chairs: Gregory Bossart (Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution) and Pat Fair
