With dolphins being such a popular and generally well studied species globally, it's surprising to know that we know very little about our dolphins in Southeast Queensland. This talk will introduce dolphin research broadly, and discus the efforts going on in the region to bolster our understanding of dolphins and how we can better protect these incredible animals. The talk will even include ways that you can get involved and help collect research.

With over 15 years of experience with five dolphin species, three whale species, as well as manatees and dugongs across six countries spanning three continents.
