Former dolphin hunter leads dolphin watch and encounters friendly sperm whale.Izumi Ishii was once head of the dolphin hunters in Futo, Japan but one day he heard the cry of a dying dolphin and it changed him. So he began a dolphin watching business. BlueVoice.org supported his work and Hardy Jones was aboard for the first expedition. Ishii's vessel sailed for four hours with no luck and he was in danger of bringing back the tourists and the press with a failure. But then a huge sperm whale appeared - and it turned out to be friendly, lingering around the boat for 45 minutes. Ishii's transformation from dolphin hunter to dolphin tour operator makes him more money than his pervious business and has taken thousands of Japanese to see whales and dolphins. It shows that dolphin watching can replace dolphin killing. For more information go to http://www.bluevoice.org. Hardy Jones is co-founder of BlueVoice.org with Ted Danson. Friendly Whale
Experience being amidst a pod of spotted dolphins in the Bahamas, listen to their complex clicks and whistles. Imagine what they are experiencing and communicating. Filmed by BlueVoice (BlueVoice.org)This video was shot among a school of friendly spotted dolphins in the Bahamas. Hardy Jones has been working with these dolphins since 1978 and knows many of them personally - some for as long as 25 years. This long term relationship between humans and dolphins shows that interaction between two large brained species is possible. We have also been able to witness the dolphins' high intelligence, sociability and friendliness toward us. We have used computers to interact with them. Details at http://bluevoice.org/sections/dolphins/communication.shtml. This is a video to stimulate your imagination. What is it like to be a dolphin. Let the sounds enter your mind without judgment. See where it takes you. Among Dolphins

A music video for an original song I composed http://tinyurl.com/ynqppdI'd already produced the song. Then I discovered one or two videos with scenes that reminded me of what I was trying to express in the song, i.e. where dolphins could one day reach the stars and explore the galaxy with humans. So I decided to experiment to see if I could piece a music video together. I've tried to weave a story in the video (it's purely fictional; I'm not trying to be scientific here): A star, from the seas of space, falls onto earth and encounters intelligent life--the dolphins--in the oceans. Then the star carries the dolphins to space, flowing along the ebbs of space and time. Eventually the star returns to earth again.**********A special mention to BlueVoice.Org, for their work in promoting awareness about Dolphins, whales and ocean environmental issues. Please visit their website at http://www.BlueVoice.org**********CREDITS & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS--------------------------I spent many hours searching for videos with suitable scenes. I've considered the guidelines regarding copyright and Dolphins Galaxia...

When Hardy Jones first witnessed and documented the slaughtering of dolphins in Japan in 1979, he knew he had to do something to stop it. But when the world whaling commission sanctions more dolphin killing to make up for lost whale harvests and there is the risk of offending Japanese culture and tradition, the task is not a simple one. Almost thirty years since Hardy started on his mission to save dolphins, much has been accomplished, but there is still work to be done. Join Hardy as he travels to Japan and shows us how we can help - just by visiting www.bluevoice.org. WHEN DOLPHINS...
