Grad student surveys dolphins aerially
By JOEL GROOVER
Campus Correspondent
When hundreds of dead dolphins
began washing ashore on Georgia
beaches a few years ago, scientists
blamed the deaths on naturally oc
curring “red tide” organisms.
But after more research — and
more deaths — they came to an
other conclusion: In addition to
those killed by the organisms,
some dolphins were found to have
high levels of dioxin or other dan
gerous chemicals in their bloods
treams.
“We know the dioxin levels are
there," said David Strickland, a
photographer with the Georgia
Dolphin Project.
One dolphin contained so much
dioxin, he said, the beaches qual
ified as a federal superfund clean
up site.
Strickland, a graduate student
at the University, spoke to Stu
dents for Environmental Aware
ness Wednesday night.
He is in charge of aerial surveys
for the dolphin project, a group of
more than 500 scientists and other
volunteers working to count the
entire dolphin population off
Georgia’s coast.
They are doing so by taking pic
tures of dolphins from boats and
helicopters, identifying each
mammal by distinctive markings
on its dorsal fin.
At the meeting, held in the
ecology building, Strickland talked
about the project and encouraged
students to join the 10-year dol
phin-counting effort.
“It’s actually a valid scientific re
search project,” he said. “You get to
learn a lot out there.”
He also talked about the high
levels of pollutants found in
Georgia’s coastal waters, and the
need for an accurate estimation of
the damage those pollutants may
have caused the dolphin popula-
tion.
Government studies, which did
not include information about the
toxins, determined that “red-tide”
organisms may have killed as
much as 50 percent of the dolphin
population, he said.
If so, it could take up to 100
years to restore the population to
pre-1987 levels. But that’s only if
pressure on dolphins continues at
its present rate.
Of the hundreds that washed
ashore in 1987 and 1988, Strick
land said many dolphins had in
gested deadly chemicals through
their natural diet: fish found in the
same waters as those caught and
sold for human consumption.
That caused scientists worry, he
said, not only about the future of
the dolphin population in Georgia,
but about the future of the state’s
coastal waters.
It also led to the creation of the
dolphin project, which Strickland
said will release preliminary fig.
ures on the population in three
years.
The project conducts four sur
veys each year. On each survey,
volunteers, who have been trained
to shoot pictures of dolphins, head
out to sea with their cameras and
look for dolphins.
They usually shoot thousands of
photos, Strickland said, but very
few of those are clear enough to be
used for identification.
On one of the more successful
runs, 1,374 dolphins were counted,
he said.
“We’ve had them come right up
to the boat,” he said. But the volun
teers are prevented from feeding or
ng with the mammals,
ou don’t want to bias the data,
so you have to keep a safe dis
tance,” he said. ‘That’s to protect
the dolphins and to protect the val
idity of 1 the data.”
Two juveniles arrested for theft. Two juveniles were arrested
on charges of entering autos and financial transaction card theft in a
parking lot near the Georgia Center for Continuing Education,
according to University police reports. Sgt. Richard Goodson said
police responded to a report that two males were looking in car
windows and saw one of the two juveniles with a public-address
headset used by the University Redcoat Marching Band. The two
juveniles ran when they saw the officers. After a brief chase the
officers were able to corner the juveniles, Goodson said. Police found
several items — including credit cards bearing female names — that
had been removed from other cars that were entered, police reports
read.

PERRY (AP): Georgia fair begins. The Georgia National Fair,
a nine-day show featuring carnival rides, big-name entertainers and
livestock contests, opens Friday at the new $25 million state-funded
Georgia Agricenter. Gov. Joe Frank Harris will help dedicate the first
edition of the fair, which is to be an annual event at the 628-acre
complex near Perry. The new Agricenter will serve as a conference
center and a site for shows highlighting the state’s agricultural
achievements. Among its 17 buildings are barns for horses and
livestock, 80,000 square feet of exhibit space and an 8,300-seat arena.
Gates to the fairground will be opened at noon Friday, and Harris will
join the Agricenter staff for the dedication at 3 p.m. The Temptations
and Tanya Tucker are two acts that are scheduled to perform.
■ NATION
WASHINGTON (AP): First step on abortion bill. A House
subcommittee approved a bill Thursday that would put into federal
law a woman’s right to an abortion as ruled in the Supreme Court
decision Roe vs. Wade. “The language of the bill is drawn directly
from Roe,” said Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif., chairman of the House
Judiciary subcommittee on civil and constitutional rights. He said the
Freedom of Choice Act was necessary to preserve the reproductive
options women have had since the Supreme Court decision was
issued. The subcommittee vote came after two days of hearings. A
similar version is pending in the Senate.
■ WORLD
MANILA, Philippines (AP): Soldiers rebel; seize base.
Mutinous soldiers seized an army brigade headquarters before dawn
Thursday in the southern Philippines, said Chief of Staff Gen. Renato
de Villa. De Villa put the military on nationwide alert and ordered
troops to follow the chain of command. De Villa said that soldiers of
the 53rd infantry battallion took over the headquarters of the 402nd
brigade of the Philippine Army in Butuan city, 500 miles southeast of
Manila, at around 1:00 a.m. Thursday (noon EDT Wednesday). De
Villa said over Manila radio stations that the mutiny was led by an
army major identified only as Major Cerdeno, and by a Lieutenant
Batac. He said that no other details were available because mutineers
apparently cut off communication lines to Mindanao.
