It’s that special time of the year again!
Thankyou SO much wonderful Sealink KI for another year of fantastic long term Citizen Science Community Link sponsorship, inkind travel and support in 2025 / 2026 which to us…and the dolphins, means everything! www.sealink.com.au


Thanks to the wonderful long term sponsorship and support provided by Sealink KI since 2012, we have been able to continue our longitudinal volunteer Citizen Science research effort with fantastic outcomes. This ongoing faith, support, sponsorship and in-kind travel is a game changer for Kangaroo Island / Victor Harbor Dolphin Watch and we are truly grateful.


Despite ongoing challenges of weather issues and vessel availability impacting on maintaining regular survey effort each month, we have continued to develop and thrive in our region.
As in previous years the sponsorship funds were greatly appreciated contributing to boat charter costs for surveys plus fantastic travel fares well used, for coordinating and operating our project in Victor Harbor and for presentations, workshops, meetings etc. Without this amazing support our longitudinal community Citizen Science project would not be thriving as it is today!







“@kivhdolphinwatch is an exceptional example of a citizen-led research project that not only contributes to scientific knowledge but also fosters community wellbeing and resilience. Sealink has been proudly supporting its efforts for more than 13 years.”
Sealink Community Link Program “The Islander” Newspaper April 2024
249 monthly Citizen Science surveys on Kangaroo Island and 161 surveys in Victor Harbor totalling 410 in our region, have been completed to date. A staggering number of hours of land based monitoring plus ongoing community data input supplement our boat based surveys.





Sealink’s ongoing support over the years has helped us continue to work on our aims of conservation and protection of dolphins in our regional waters and indeed on a global scale. We continue to foster this double purpose in highlighting to the world the marine experience opportunities in our region and the magnificent marine habitats in the Mission Blue Kangaroo Island North Coast Hope Spot as well as enhancing much needed protection and conservation of dolphins and other cetaceans. www.missionblue.org
Moving towards greater protection for Cetaceans across SA and beyond collaborating with renowned key personnel in this conservation space is a work in progress!
Continuing advocacy for marine fauna in our waters and gaining greater protection for dolphins and habitats upon which they depend are at the heart of our project.



Once again thankyou so much Sealink for your amazing help and support.
Our mantra – “changing one heart one mind at a time” developing a common sense of purpose is exemplified by change in societal understandings caring for marine environments.
Thankyou for your amazing contribution to help make it all happen!
Love and gratitude in boatloads.
