Distant dolphin calls on CP (Cracroft Point) Nearly inaudible due to boat noise.

No orcas present.

So here is what has been happening around the Lab for the last few days. Ellie has been busy listening to and recording several dolphin events. Last night and again this morning she heard them in Johnstone Strait at 11:47 pm and 5:11 am respectively. There are a fair number of porpoises each day in Blackney Pass and Ellie has also had dolphins (as many as 60+) travel through. Sadly she reported that a boat on one occasion chose to follow the dolphins very closely. The guidelines actually are for all cetaceans and marine mammals. The humpbacks are keeping her very busy as they too are a daily presence. Ripple and her baby have been seen on several occasions accompanied by other individuals.

Close dolphin calls on Critical Point. While fairly vocal at first, these dolphins seem to like to remain quiet. It is possible these are the white sided dolphins we saw yesterday,

Distant calls audible.

Dolphin sounds on CRPT. (Critical Point) Short whistles, and mostly clicks.
