Hurricane and Red Tide Impacts on Dolphins Among Four Projects Awarded in Specialty License Plate Program Grants

The Protect Wild Dolphins (PWD) specialty license plate program has just awarded $302,000 in grants to four dolphin research, information and awareness programs in the State. Funds will support important work to locate and identify dolphins using acoustic detection devices; develop a code of conduct for dolphin tour operators; a public service announcement that will convey that it is both illegal and dangerous to feed marine mammals; and an investigation of the impacts to dolphins and their environment from recent hurricanes and episodes of red tide.
