The humpback dolphin is an endangered species. Sadly, they die in shark nets. We have identified the net off Newark Beach as the net that catches the most humpback dolphins in KwaZulu-Natal, South African. We are now studying dolphin behaviour near this net so that the number of deaths can be reduced.
The KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board has given us use of a video camera to monitor the dolphins' activity. You can help us by watching the video footage. If you see a dolphin please let us know the exact date and time (or send us a screenshot) via our contact page or [email protected]
