Richard "Dick" Edwards plants dynamite in the mechanical shark prop used in filming the classic movie Jaws. During his service in the U.S. Navy during World War II and the Korean War, Edwards became an expert in explosives. Early in his early career at WHOI, he applied his knowledge of explosives to the work of seismic researchers, though Navy officials continued to call on his expertise for many years.

Four long-term resident mother-calf pairs swim off the coast of Sarasota. Three of these mothers benefited from interventions by the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program team: one was disentangled from embedding line encircling her head when she was not even a year old; another  was rescued when it stranded on a beach near where this photo was taken; project veterinarians removed a stingray barb from the head of another.
