The coastal delphinids of Namibia have been poorly studied to date and little information exists on the movements, abundance and general ecological relationships of Heavisides's, dusly and bottlenose dolphins in Namibian waters. Of immediate conservation concern is coastal development, port expansion and large marine ecotourism industry in the Walvis Bay area. The primary field site for this project is Walvis Bay (WB) with a secondary field site in Lüderitz (Ltz). The project has used visual survey's, photo-ID and static acoustic monitoring to investigate the distribution, habitat use and abundance of Heavisides's and bottlenose dolphins between 2008 and 2010.
