Dolphins use echo location mainly to search for food. They will send out the sound and once it hits the fish, the sound waves bounce back to the dolphin forming a picture for them. As soon as they receive the click they send out another to measure the distance. With echo location a dolphin can determine size, shape, and distance of an object.
Improvement of the above answer by Sims3Legend:
Actually, dolphins use it, yes to search for food, but also to see objects from hundreds of yards away, so they can swim round them. They can determine the following of an object using echolocation:
Size, Shape, Distance, Speed, Direction and Internal Structure(depening on the object,)
Yes.
becoz they need to be heard
echo sounding, localization
Something called echo-location

Echo sounding is used to get indication of any difference in the properties of the water. Fish finding, and depth sounding would be obvious uses. Other uses including locating enemy submarines or warships.

All use sound navigation / echo-ranging for navigation.
I think that Henry Hess invented echo-sounding devices for mapping the ocean floor. But I am not 100% sure that is the correct answer. LOL <3
Mapping the Ocean Floor with Echo Sounding is the key method scientists use to map the seafloor today
