Great video making the rounds lately: “Running with Dolphins off the Key West Hump.” Found it posted on the blog of Islamorada local and Outcome Labs head honcho John Fleming, @JohnFleming, who picked it up from FishMonsterMedia and @KeysTreasures. Brilliant. Thanks to all for sharing.

Some great new pics from Pat Ford, taken at Flamingo in the Everglades.
