Research activities focus on dolphin distribution, abundance, social structure, habitat use, feeding habits, fishery interactions and tourism impact through dedicated boat surveys, land-based watches and theodolite tracking, photo-identification and mark-recapture techniques, behavioural observations and passive acoustic monitoring.
To complement the fixed station receivers, boat surveys were occasionally performed (5 days in summer in 2006 (July August), 12 days in 2007 (May August), and 4 days in 2008 (July August)) to determine fish position up to 10-km north and south of the Big Beef Creek estuary.
