What:	NEXT › ‹ PREVIOUS Florida's WILD DOLPHIN PROJECT is coming to The Wildlife Experience Museum near Park Meadows on Friday October 17, 2008 6:30 p.m. A fascinating and powerful multi-media presentation about the life, behavior and communication systems of the Atlantic Spotted Dolphin will be offered by Research Director and WDP Founder Dr. Denise Herzing (Florida Atlantic University Biological/Psychological Sciences). Dr. Herzing, who has appeared in National Geographic magazine, is a 2008 recipient of the prestigious Guggenheim Award for her dedication as a scientist and 24 years of study of the Atlantic Spotted Dolphin in the Bahamas. This prestigious award recognizes Dr. Herzing's dedication as a scientist and was "appointed on the basis of stellar achievement and exceptional promise for continued accomplishment" (as stated in Guggenheim Foundation's press release, April 3, 2008). The Wild Dolphin Project gathers information on the natural history of these dolphins including behaviors, social structure, communication and habitat. This powerful presentation will leave you feeling the passion of Dr. Herzing's life-long commitment to learning about the lives of wild dolphins: "In Their World, On Their Terms."............ Have you ever wondered what you would ask a dolphin if you could? The event will be a limited ticket sales event with a cocktail reception and FREE access to ALL museum exhibits. Tickets are on sale now at $10 (regular seating) and $15 (VIP 'up close' seating).
