Dolphin photographic identification methodology....

Non invasive, longitudinal research for studying dolphin populations involves analysing quality photographs of dorsal fins, preferably side on (and on occasions distinctive body markings) to identify, match and catalogue individuals by shape, scars, notches, nicks etc.

It involves so many painstaking hours but……we love it! 💙🐬💙

Human manual analysis has proved to be far more accurate with a higher success rate than various IT methods.
However times are changing…..

📷 Thanks to our wonderful Victor Harbor volunteer/photographer/cartoonist Mark David for coming up with his time saving method. 💙

Potential….. maybe…. 😵‍💫

Fin Day….Fun Day Friday!
