About Our Presenter

Katie McHugh, Staff Scientist with the Chicago Zoological Society's Sarasota Dolphin Research ProgramKatie McHugh, Staff Scientist with the Chicago Zoological Society’s Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, began studying wild dolphins with the CZS-SDRP as an intern in 2000, and spent time studying spotted and dusky dolphins in the Bahamas and New Zealand before returning to the program as a graduate student researcher in 2004, where she studied juvenile dolphin behavior and the impacts of harmful algal blooms on dolphins in Sarasota Bay.
