Developing with Dolphins: Ecological and Anthropogenic Factors Influencing Estuary Use in Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins Along Southwest Coast of India

This study would be aimed at identifying ecological and anthropogenic factors determining distribution and behaviour of the humpback dolphin in estuarine ecosystems along the southwest coast of India. Coastal stakeholders (e.g. fishermen, port authorities, tourism operators) attitudes towards dolphins would be evaluated to assess their perceptions and to raise awareness towards dolphin conservation.

Identifying Critical Areas of Bottlenose Dolphins Populations: A Coordinated Regional Conservation Project

This project aims to determine population size, distribution, movements and habitat use of bottlenose dolphins in Uruguayan coast and regionally, in order to identify critical habitats and population stocks.

Identifying Priority Areas for the Conservation of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops Truncatus) Inhabiting the Pato's Lagoon Estuary, Southern Brazil

The aim of this project is to identify the parameters that may influence the preferential areas utilized by the dolphins and to verify the areas and seasons of higher potential for overlap between dolphins and fisheries activities distribution along the year.
