Team Leaders do not pay a survey fee. Instead they obtain a Team Leader Kit with a $30 refundable deposit. Tis TL Kit is described below**. Team Leaders coordinate the arrival time and location and boat information with the Skipper; then contact their teams with the information. They download the required number of survey forms for their kit from the website FORMS page.uner the RESEARCH tab. Team Leaders keep the team in compliance with the MMPA (Marine Mammal Protection Act) during the survey. This means that the boat must keep a distance of 50 yards from dolphins whenever possible. The boat is not permitted to turn and follow the dolphins. [The exception to this rule is if the Team Leader (or someone else onthe boat) is named on the NMFS Permit. for more information on this go to the NMFS page under the HOME tab].
