The National Geographic Society’s Heroes For the Planet team led by Dr. Sylvia Earle, in collaboration with Ford Motor Foundation, visited the Blackbird-Oceanic Society Field Station (BOSS) facility in September 2001. The Oceanic Society was proud to be part of this initiative and grateful to National Geographic Society and Ford Motor Foundation members for supporting the bottlenose dolphin and coral reef research projects.
