Agreement with University of Bologna
Dolphin Biology and Conservation has stipulated a formal agreement with Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, Italy, to allow for the participation of students in internship and thesis programmes.
The first student from the University of Bologna to participate in this programme is Laura Malaguti, who is going to spend 1.5 months at our field station in Galaxidi, Greece, in the context of her M.Sc. in Marine Biology.

Heart-shaped flukes
The abnormal flukes of this individual, nicknamed 'Codo', are particularly small and rounded. Codo, a female, has been tracked in the Gulf of Corinth since 2009 and is one of the individuals most frequently observed in this area. One may wonder how Codo can swim with such reduced heart-shaped flukes, but she manages very well. Her tail stock has grown large and robust, and while Codo does not jump out of the water, she behaves like a normal bottlenose dolphin and is quite sociable.
