From the Paper:

"Dolphins have a refined sense of awareness and intelligence that surpasses any other living thing in nature. They have mastered the art of communication with their inborn sonar system. Through this, they can locate, identify, and collect details on the locale of their prey, or any other organism present. They have baffled man for centuries, as people have struggled to understand the minds of these gentle mammals of the sea. "More than any other creatures on the planet, they call our assumed dominion over nature into question. With every contact, they promise both to satisfy our craving for communication with another species, and to intensify our sense of inadequacy" (May 5)."
