After months of planning, the Research and Volunteer building has been constructed and Volunteers and Researchers have now moved in to their new premises.

Volunteers have made their large room into a welcoming environment where they can train new volunteers and have ready access to their resources.  Additionally, with the oncoming winter months, they can still watch over Koombana Bay and their beloved dolphins from the comfort and security of their building.

Murdoch University and its Research Team are also well established and operating fully from their part of the building.  The Team is also excited to have the boat shed in place right next door to house their two research vessels and research equipment.

Bunbury Dolphin Discovery, with the support of the Bunbury Port Authority and the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, has developed a proposal to consider boat activity restrictions in certain parts of Koombana Bay.  These restrictions are designed to minimise the long-term impacts upon the dolphins and may have considerations for users of Koombana Bay.

We are seeking feedback from the community.

Please check out our documents page of our website (http://dolphins.mysouthwest.com.au/Documents) and view the Proposed Boat Restrictions General Information pdf file.  Once you have reviewed this information we'd be delighted to hear from you. 

You can submit your answers to our questionnaire online here:  http://dolphins.mysouthwest.com.au/Education/Zone%20Feedback

Otherwise save a copy of the Proposed Boat Restrictions Questionnaire, complete the form and e-mail it to us at phil@dolphindiscovery.com.au

We look forward to hearing from you.
