Dolphins are highly intelligent cetaceans known for their acrobatic behaviors and social complexity. With over 40 species inhabiting the world's oceans and several major river systems, they play a vital role in marine ecosystems. However, these incredible animals face mounting challenges, including microplastics, chemical pollution, and habitat degradation.

During the event, ACS volunteers will be on-site to discuss:

Global Diversity: The various species of dolphins found around the world.

Biology & Adaptation: How dolphins use echolocation to navigate and hunt.

Species Identification: The key differences between dolphins and porpoises (and why some "whales" are actually dolphins!).

Conservation: The modern threats facing cetacean populations and how the public can help.
