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.
