Annual Dolphin Count set for July 19
The Marine Education, Research and Rehabilitation Institute, Inc. (MERR) will hold the Annual Dolphin Count on Saturday, July 19, from 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Volunteers will be stationed at pre-designated observation points from Fenwick Island to Woodland Beach, DE. Results from this count will help to determine population stability in Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in this region.

MERR Sunset Dolphin Tours Open
Spend an evening with the MERR stranding team on Sunday, August 10, at 6:30 p.m. aboard the Cape Water Tours Boat The Second Nature as it sets out to the Harbor of Refuge in search of dolphins and other wildlife. Photo opportunities abound, so passengers are encouraged to bring cameras and binoculars.
Tickets are $65 and include food, wine, beer, and refreshments for this festive fundraiser. Boarding begins at 6:30 p.m., and the boat will depart from the Cape May Lewes Ferry docks at 7 p.m. for a two-hour sunset bay tour.
The cruise sells out quickly, and tickets can be ordered by following the payment to the left of this article.
Proceeds raised from the event go to the year-round efforts of the non-profit organization, which serves as the only response and rescue organization for marine mammals and sea turtles stranding in Delaware. Care for these animals includes food and care, veterinary treatment, transportation, and supplies.
