Palisades resident Professor Mann has been studying wild dolphins for 34 years in Australia, but it wasn't until recently that she realized they are literally in our backyard. Since 2015, Dr. Janet Mann and others have been studying wild bottlenose dolphins in the lower Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. The research team, based at Georgetown University, identifies and tracks individuals from year to year. Come hear about the dolphins and what the research team has learned. Dr. Mann will update us on her research since she first presented this fascinating topic to an enthusiastic Palisades Village group several years ago soon after her Potomac River discovery.
