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 Dolphins

This is a rare species of dolphin, with a hump on its back, and most people have never even heard of a humpback dolphin before and there just don’t seem to be many of them around. Read more.

The study

 Humpback dolphins die in shark nets and we aim to understand how they are using the area so that solutions can be found. Read more, especially if you'd like to help.
