~Please excuse the poor audio quality, if this is your first experience with Get Out Alive, maybe don't make this your first episode?~
This week, three pals get together to talk about how dangerous it can be to swim with Bottlenose Dolphins and some people who were seriously injured when swimming with dolphins. And what is a dolphin, anyways? And should we be swimming with them?
If you are visiting the Gulf of California in Mexico, please keep an eye out for Vaquitas and people with Gillnets. If you see someone with a gillnet or a Vaquita entrapped, please call the NOAA Fisheries Enforcement Hotline at
(800)-853-1964.
If you are visiting North Padre Island or the surrounding ocean in Texas, keep an eye out for the aggressive male dolphin and find more resources at
fisheries.noaa,gov. If you see someone trying to harass or feed the dolphin, please call
800-853-1964. You can also visit their website
here to learn how to safely share the shore with Sea Turtles and other marine life.
If you see an injured or dead sea mammal, please call 877-WHALE-HELPIf you'd like to know more about the negative consequences of swimming with dolphins, please visit
