Language Studies with Bottlenosed Dolphins

Louis Herman conducts his dolphin research in tanks located at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal Laboratory in Honolulu, Hawaii. Visitors ascend stairs into a tower above two seawater tanks, one situated to the north and another to the south of the structure. The tanks are circular, 50 feet in diameter. The tanks are connected by a ten-foot-wide channel. Dolphins occupy both tanks.
