Isn't this wonderful? Can you tell us about their behavior so people can understand why they keep coming into the bay, what they're doing when they're spinning? What are they doing during the early morning hours versus the evening? All of that information would be great.

Yeah.

Well, uh, spinner dolphins probably get more exposure to human activities than any other species in Hawaii, uh, because of their day/night patterns and their, their, uh, tendency to rest near shore during the day.

So spinner dolphins, uh, do almost all of their foraging at night, and, and that foraging is, is usually a few miles offshore, uh, in deeper water.

And, and then they come in close to shore early in the morning, uh, usually right around or shortly after sunrise.

Uh, and they will spend most of the day, uh, usually until sort of mid to late afternoon in these shallow nearshore areas like Hanalei Bay and off of Polihale.

And, uh, the spinner dolphins-- Many species of whales and dolphins in Hawaii have these very strong day and night patterns where they'll feed at night and rest during the day.

So tell us a little bit about dolphin IQ, so people can know, and even whales also in terms of their language, how would somebody know they're in distress? And then maybe after we go through that, we could talk about people who fish and how whales and dolphins get caught in nets and all of that kind of information, which I think is really important.
