Dolphin Sightings

I am back again. I went with my family to Carpinteria all last week. It was a great time. And since we saw many many dolphins, I would like to share something.

I was having lunch (or breakfast, can't remember) with my family a few days before our trip to Carpinteria and we were talking about seeing dolphins at the beach and how we like it so much. Then my dad commented that he never saw them as a kid and in fact he doesn't think he ever saw them more than twenty years ago. I started thinking, and really, I can't remember ever seeing them even ten years ago. Now it seems we see them every time we go to the beach. And this Carpinteria trip really confirmed that. So we began to speculate, and it was either my mom or dad, I can't remember which now, that we all agreed found the likely cause for this new boom in the dolphin population. It was banning that certain type of tuna net. It did do a number on the dolphin population and now it seems that they have replenished their numbers. It is nice to be able to see a thing like that work out. I know I LOVE to see the dolphins, it makes the beach so much more....marine. And just so everyone knows, when they say at Sea World that the tricks they get the dolphins to do are all things they do in the wild, they ARE telling the truth.
