Bethany Augliere | Marine Biologist: Dolphins

Bethany is a research associate with the Wild Dolphin Project, founded and directed by Dr. Denise Herzing, where she studies two resident species of oceanic dolphins: Atlantic spotted (Stenella frontalis) and Atlantic bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) in the Bahamas. She spent years freediving and snorkeling to photograph, film, and collect data on these animals. As a researcher, she's most interested in animal movement patterns and habitat use but WDP studies everything from communication to behaviour, genetics and social structure. During her time as a biologist and living at sea, she's come eye-to-eye with tiger sharks and sea turtles, swam into a box jellyfish, and dove on the shark-diver team for Diana Nyad. Her fieldwork has brought her to many places around the globe. She's spent hours hiking along the beach at night in the Virgin Islands to study nesting leatherback sea turtles, trekked above treeline in the Andes Mountains, freedove with sleeping sharks in the Galapagos Islands and watched elephants in Kruger National Park of South Africa.
