Dolphin Movement

• Dolphins chase fish, get their sense of
  direction, and maneuver the ocean through
  echolocation. Basically, like bats, they send out
  waves that bounce back and help them navigate,
  locate prey, and avoid obstacles. They can even
  use this to locate fish hiding in the sand.

Kids Help Save Dolphins

• The Kids Organization Against the Extinction of
  Dolphins (KOAED) in the United Kingdom works with
  kids from ages 11-18, fighting against the
  extinction of this very loved marine mammal. They
  have held community meetings and have made it
  illegal in that one part of the U.K. to even have
  a drift net. Wishing the United States was like
  that, children in different states have organized
  groups as well. www.agirlsworld.com
