Another solution: train wild dolphins to recognize the goal (e.g. sunken ships), do the scan for you, and receive some compensation in exchange for the work they do (tasty food? play balls?). Should check the depth range of dolphins.
- pvaldes 5mo agoSomebody investing a zillion to hire people to train and feed dolphins most probably: 1) have enough money to buy robots instead and get rid of the legal and logistic trouble 2) would want to use the dolphins for activities that grant a better return of the investment like marine engineering or war (mining/demining). Every major of a coastal city in California, or South-Africa (with a big beach visited by thousands of swimmers a day), would pay solid money for bay-watching and shark deterrent services that really work without the need of eyesore nets. People love to swim with dolphins too so would be another tourism resource in itself. The time of your dolphins would be just too valuable and expensive to do Archaeology.
- dpoloncsak 5mo ago...Don't those services exist already? How does my local zoo have dolphins without zillions of dollars?
- darksaints 5mo agoDefinitely not an expert here, but I was always under the impression that dolphins can only be trained in captivity. If they aren't reliant on you for food, they have no need to perform for you.
