what's this all about?

 The humpback dolphin is an endangered species. Sadly, they die in shark nets. The shark nets at Richards Bay pose the biggest problem to them in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. We are now studying dolphin behaviour near these nets 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. We've turned it into a webcam and you can help us by watching the live video footage. If you see a dolphin please let us know the date and time (or send us a screenshot) via our contact page or [email protected]

The study
