1. Dolphins (Ecotourism) -- Bottlenose Dolphins
   Located in Key Largo, FL, Dolphins Plus is one of the premier dolphin research facilities in the nation whose focus is to educate the public about the dolphins and their environment. There are 10 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and 1 California Sea Lions at the facility, and students will have the opportunity to not only learn about dolphins, but will be able to get into the water and swim with them as well. In addition, Dolphins Plus works closely with the Marine Mammal Rescue Foundation to help save injured or stranded animals in the Florida Keys.
2. Dolphins (Ecotourism) -- Miami Dolphins
   Dolphins Stadium tickets have been a treat for sports fan since the historic Miami venue's opening in the summer of 1987. Formerly known as Joe Robbie Stadium and Pro Player Stadium, Dolphins Stadium is most famously known for being the home field of the Miami Dolphins, one of the most historic franchise in the National Football League.
3. Dolphins (Movie) -- Miami Dolphins
   This morning, when the Dolphins and Cowboys pulled off a trade that landed nose tackle Jason Ferguson in Miami, it appeared to be a part of a transition to a 3-4 defense. But the decision to lure Starks would seem to make the Dolphins more likely to run a 4-3 defense. It doesn't make a lot of sense to have both Ferguson and Starks if they're never going to play at the same time.

5. Dolphins (Ecotourism)
   When chased by a speedboat, Dolphins have been clocked at speeds of 26.3 km/hr, which they maintained for about 1500 meters, leaping constantly. Energetic studies have shown, that the most efficient travelling speed for Dolphins is between6.0 - 8.2 km/hr. There have been reports of Dolphins travelling at much higher speeds, but these refer to Dolphins being pushed along by the bow wave of a speeding boat. They were getting a free ride. It is possible that Dolphins can reach speeds over 15 knots during very short bursts (like in preparation for a high jump), but they can't maintain that speed.
6. Dolphins (Movie)
   Dolphins were the first beings to evolve to greatness on the earth. And once this happened, they moved off the land and into the sea. Food is more plentiful in the sea, and it covers two-thirds of the planet's surface. Of course they would want to live there. It is a place of enlightenment. This explains "the love of the sea" that so many sailors have.
7. Miami Dolphins
   The 2003 Miami Dolphins were a hard team to pinpoint. The defense was again solid and forced a lot of turnovers, and opposing offenses found running the ball extremely difficult. However, poor offensive line play (despite most of the starters returning) gave little room for Ricky to run, and the offense was stagnant. The Dolphins began with a repeat of 2002's season end, with a complete meltdown against the Houston Texans, but they rebounded to win four straight games. During a crushing overtime loss at the hands of the Patriots, Jay Fiedler was injured, forcing newly acquired backup Brian Griese to lead the Dolphins to victory the next week over San Diego. That... was Griese's high point, and after a good showing against Indianapolis in a losing effort, he was lousy against the Titans and highly ineffective against the Ravens.
8. Dolphins (Ecotourism) -- Florida Keys
   [F]ootball is not the only thing played at Dolphins Stadium. This approximately 50,000-seat venue is ... home to Major League Baseball's Florida Marlins. The Marlins turned Dolphins Stadium tickets into World Series tickets in 1997 and 2003.
9. Dolphins (Ecotourism) -- Humans
   Common dolphins face a mixture of threats due to human influence. Populations have been hunted off the coast of Peru for use as food and shark bait. In most other areas the dolphins have not been hunted directly. Several thousand individuals have been caught in industrial trawler nets throughout their range. Common dolphins were abundant in the western Mediterranean Sea until the 1960s but occurrences there have tailed off rapidly. The reasons are not well understood but are believed to be due to extensive human activity in the area.
10. Dolphins (Ecotourism) -- Shore
    There are even some places (like the aforementioned Monkey Mia) where wild dolphins come close to shore. Swimming with them should never be enforced, nor should they ever be chased, as is the case with wild dolphin watching in Lovina.
