Bottlenose Dolphin Rescue===============

For the last couple of decades, dolphin watching has become a popular form of ecotourism. There is no one place ideal for dolphin watching and, in fact, dolphins live all over the planet - they are found in the warm waters off
St. Lucia in the
Caribbean and you can also go dolphin watching in the freezing waters off the coast of
Iceland.

Throughout history, a number of famous dolphins have been noted for their public service. They have featured in newspapers, become an integral part of the story in books, and made their way onto the movie screen.
Douglas Adams gave them a primary part in his
Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy Trilogy -
So Long, and
Thanks For All The Fish; the movie
Dolphins (2008), using
IMAX technology, was a critical success; and who could ever forget the television show
Flipper?
Flipper
In the early
1960s, television introduced a new superstar. Her screen name was Flipper and she (and her male double, Mr.
Gipper) tail-walked across the television screen every week. Flipper (really named
Mitzi) introduced people to a mammal to which they had probably never given a second thought.
People also began to sit up and take notice of a new experience - dolphin watching. Flipper, the bottlenose dolphin, held the public's rapt attention for several seasons before becoming part of television history. She died in
1972. She is buried beneath a statue of a mother and baby dolphin at the
Dolphin Research Centre in
Florida.
Fungie,
Ireland
Fungie first appeared in
Dingle, Ireland, at the mouth of
Dingle Harbour and was given his unusual name by a local fisherman. Since
1984, he has lived and played in the area. Although he hangs out with the local dolphins that arrive between June and July, Fungie never leaves the area and has become an integral part of the ecotourism economy. Every year people
sign up to go
dolphin watching, hoping to see Fungie.

JoJo,
Turks and Caicos
JoJo is a famous dolphin of the Caribbean. He voluntarily began to interact with people in the water but unfortunately, over a period of time, too many people took this for granted. He became very bold and was in danger of being declared dangerous.
Instead, in
1987,
Dean Bernal took on the job of educating the public about how to interact with dolphins. In doing so, he not only saved JoJo but helped him obtain his current status of "
National Treasure."
Pelorus Jack,
New Zealand
The Cook Strait around the
North Island of New Zealand can be a perilous place for boats. This was certainly true in the late 19th and early
20th centuries. In
1888, however, a
Risso's dolphin began to escort ships to safety through the treacherous waters. For 24 years this dolphin did his duty, preventing many shipwrecks. The name given to the dolphin was Pelorus Jack.
