CONSERVATION PROFILE
Humpback Dolphins of Gansbaai
The Indian Ocean humpback dolphin (Sousa plumbea) has only been recognised as a distinct species a few years ago. Little is known by researchers, and even less by the public, about these often shy and elusive dolphins. Their name originates from a prominent hump below the rather small dorsal fin and therefore makes them easy to identify from other dolphins found along the South African coast. words - Marine Biologist Sandra Hรถrbst, Marine Dynamics / Dyer Island Cruises 78 responsible traveller
