Summary edit

Description
English: Gulfport, Miss. (Sept. 18, 2005) – A Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport facility is currently the temporary home for four displaced Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins. U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program personnel from San Diego, Calif., installed three aboveground pools, along with other necessary filtration equipment needed to care for sea mammals, Sept. 17. The four dolphins, Kelly, Noah, Jackie and Toni spent the last two and a half weeks in the Gulf of Mexico, swept out to sea by a wave reported to be forty feet high during Hurricane Katrina. Because these dolphins are from a captive facility, they do not forage for food or necessarily have the survival skills needed to avoid predators or boat traffic. Since they were spotted off the gulf coast on Saturday, Sept. 10, Marine Life Aquarium trainers and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries Service biologists feed the dolphins several times a day from a NOAA vessel.
