Didn't we have a lovely time!

Finally, back in the UK and on my way up to Scotland after our very exciting time with the Pink Dolphins of Trang. Still working on the datasets, but during our time on the project we logged a total of 10 encounters and an impressive 900 km's of boat survey effort!






















Group sizes were found to range from 2 to 16 animals, with a mean school size of 5.5. Approximately 85% of the animals encountered were recognisable, and at present we are at 36 identifiable individuals from a cumulative total of 55 animals.

More to follow soon, and a paper to boot too, but in the meantime I would like to express my personal thanks to everybody who made this project possible - to the Nature Resort in Haad Yao, Kanjana and colleagues from the Phuket Marine Biological Center, Thanida and Nantarika from Chulalongkorn Unversity, Bangkok, and to the 2010 team Olivia, Brenda, Hayley, Anton, Calvin, Becky, Alex, Na, Mek, our captain Ban Bow and Lindsey and Kat in absentia. Thank you everyone for making this time so successful and memorable! In haste, Kev
