In this edition of What's Wild, we're traveling to one of South Carolina's barrier islands and observing rare feeding techniques of resident bottlenose dolphins. Also, we'll be taking a look at Charleston's Lowcountry Marine Mammal network, a non-profit organization and marine mammal first-response team whose mission is to educate the public and inspire children to become future ambassadors of conservation.
