Dolphins and Dugongs

 

 

 

Reporting of Dolphin, and Dugong Sightings - Endangered Species

We report our dolphin and dugong sightings every three months to various agencies including Moreton Research Station, and University of Queensland.

For dolphins, our information includes the type of dolphin, the pod numbers, where in the Passage they were sighted and what they were doing, and if there were any juveniles sighted with the pod.

For dugongs, our information includes number sighted, where in the Passage and what they were doing, plus again, if any juveniles spotted.

To date, we have seen a mother floating on her back breastfeeding her calf.  She was not concerned with us floating past her and she continued to feed her calf for about 20 minutes.

We have also spotted dugongs mating (wouldn't like to be a female - those bucks get a bit too amorous for safe swimming!!) and in spring we have spotted male dolphins regularly jumping out of the water showing off their bits for all to see!
