Where Have All the Dolphins Gone?
Over 6 million dolphins have been killed in the last 30 years as a direct consequence of the tuna industry`s "purse seine" fishing techniques that entrap dolphins. The film also shows the beauty and grace of our aquatic relatives, and what can be done to stop the killing. Included are dramatic interviews with several of America's most well-respected whale biologists, and the now famous footage of fishing operations shot undercover on a tuna boat by environmentalist Sam LaBudde.
Where Have All the Dolphins Gone?
In the last 30 years, the dolphin world has been devastated by the tuna industry, which continues to use the deadly "purse seine" nets that needlessly entrap dolphins. Over 6 million spinner, spotted, and common dolphins have been killed by U.S. and foreign fishing fleets. Relentless, widespread destruction is pushing some dolphin communities to the brink of extinction. Where Have All the Dolphins Gone?

Larvae Page from Stony Brook University
Many invertebrates, amphibians and fishes hatch from their eggs and look nothing like they will as adults. Before becoming adults these animals must metamorphose to take on their adult characteristics. This first stage outside the egg is called the larval stage. Stony Brook University's website contains amazing images of all sorts of larvae you may find floating in our ponds or ocean.
