<b>Dolphin Communication: Past, Present and Future Research Directions<br>
</b>The idea that dolphins communicate with a complex form of language has been entrenched in our culture since the days of the TV show “Flipper.” I will discuss how this idea originated, and its continuing impact, by giving a brief history of the study of
dolphin communication. I will then discuss our current state of knowledge, including examples of recent research, focusing particularly on structure and function of individually distinctive signature whistles and less well-understood non-signature whistles.
I will describe current avenues of research, including playback experiments, tag studies, and a project using acoustic monitoring to develop an alert system for dolphin mass stranding events. I will also discuss future directions including the use of artificial
intelligence to detect and classify whistles.<br>
