The Namibian Dolphin Project, was established in 2008 to study the whales, dolphins and turtles of Namibia. Since then we have published over 20 papers on humpback whales, bottlenose, dusky and Heaviside's dolphins and green and leatherback turtles in Namibia - significantly contributing to the knowledge in the region. Our research ranges from gathering baseline data on abundance and distribution of species to investigating human impacts such as boat traffic and port development on dolphins and entanglement on seals, to more blue skies work on interactions between sociality, genetics and vocal behaviour in cetaceans and fur seals. Our results have directly contributed to conservation such as IUCN red list assessments, marine spatial planning and environmental impact assessments.
