Monitoring coastal dolphins within the Reef 2050 Integrated Monitoring and Reporting Program: final report of the dolphins team in the megafauna expert group

Three species of coastal dolphins are commonly found throughout the Great Barrier Reef, the Australian snubfin dolphin (Orcaella heinsohni), the Australian humpback dolphin (Sousa sahulensis), and the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus). This report focuses on these three species, acknowledging that many other cetacean species also inhabit the Reef.
