Meet Nick! This dolphin was first seen during a routine field expedition. He was in a small pod with four other dolphins, guiding them through the choppy waters of Lake Borgne. Our Researchers will use his dorsal fin- which is completely unique from any other dolphin- to study him, his social dynamics, and habitat use throughout his life! Nick is one of hundreds of dolphins monitored by IMMS via photo-ID. To learn more about our research, check out our website: https://imms.org/research/ With the news of The University of Alabama’s head football coach, Nick Saban, retiring, our Researchers have decided to name this dolphin in honor of his legacy. Enjoy retirement, Coach Saban!
