Dolphin Watch Training Event

Learn more about the Swan and Canning rivers and our resident dolphin community, become a trained Dolphin Watch volunteer and contribute to research!

Join us for this free training event and hear from leading scientists and researchers from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and Murdoch University.

Learn more about the Swan Canning river system, dolphin biology, the resident dolphin community, how to identify the different dolphins and the different behaviours you may be lucky enough to observe. You’ll even receive a copy of the brand-new 11th edition of FinBook – an identification catalogue for dolphins observed in the Swan Canning Riverpark – and a Dolphin Watch volunteer cap.

As a trained Dolphin Watcher, your monitoring reports will contribute to valuable research. Join one of the largest ‘Citizen Scientist’ cohorts in Australia and help us learn more about our resident dolphins and how they use the Riverpark.

A complimentary supper will be served upon arrival at 6pm with proceedings commencing at 6.30pm.
