We’re excited to invite you to join us for the first NSW Dolphin Census!

In support of Dolphin Research Australia, this ambitious citizen science project will bring together volunteers along the NSW coast to help collect vital data on dolphin populations and better inform future conservation planning for coastal cetaceans.

As part of the census, volunteers will observe dolphins from headlands, beaches, rivers, kayaks, boats, and other coastal locations. The data collected will provide an important snapshot of dolphin populations across NSW.

Chris Yates, environmental scientist and ACF Northern Beaches leader, will guide a small group observation walk on Sunday 31 May from 11.30am, between Narrabeen Rock Pool and Warriewood Beach — an area where dolphins are frequently sighted. We’ll finish with a coffee and a chance to share observations and experiences.

We’d love you to join us for this unique event. All participants are required to register and complete a short training workshop (online and self-paced eLearning options are available). Anyone can get involved — no previous experience required. For more information, please visit the Dolphin Census page HERE.

To find out where will we meet on Sunday and to RSVP, please use this LINK.

Please also help spread the word so we can get as many ocean lovers involved as possible! We hope you can join us!
