I find any conversation about dolphins and science fiction that neglects David Brin's "Startide Rising" [1] to be criminally negligent. It was even published in the Cold War (1983). Such a wonderful book if you haven't read it.
Ditto Larry Niven's "World of Ptavvs". Written in our Cold War, set within a future Cold War between Earth and Belt and a final act that is actually described as pure Dolphin.
And completely agree on Startide Rising. The first time I saw Dolphins in the wild I was could not help but think of ST's beautiful haiku-like Dolphin poetry
