Description: Greetings from the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve where NOAA researchers recently conducted dart biopsy sampling of bottlenose dolphins. Samples of dolphin skin and blubber were obtained to determine contaminant concentrations and for genetic analysis. Scientists from both NOS and NMFS line offices and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources participated in the effort to assess the health of a top-level predator in this estuarine reserve, which was established for longterm research, education and coastal stewardship.
