For 15 years AMWRRO officials have watched and documented Jet Ski operators harass dolphins within the Port River Estuary and h
ave called on the state Government to act time and time again – yet they have done nothing! Now it’s your turn to speak up and support this move by signing this petition; in doing so you will assist AMWRRO in having these vessels removed from the Port River Estuary once and for all. Our goal is 10,000 – every person counts, please forward this onto your networks and flippers crossed we can make the difference! To sign the petition click here.
The AMWRRO Scientific Board is preparing to conduct an official post mortem examination on a third neonate bottlenose dolphin that was found dead on Sunday morning in local waters. Fortunately for us this animal was found just outside the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary – hence AMWRRO is permitted to conduct an accurate post mortem examination. This animal was struck 5 times by a fast moving propeller. The post mortem results once finalized will be made know to the general public via the AMWRRO website.
Prof Roger Byard (Professor of Pathology at The University of Adelaide and Senior Specialist Forensic Pathologist at Forensic Science South Australia); Dr. Luck Woolford (Veterinary Pathologist at the School of Veterinary Science; The University of Adelaide (Roseworthy)) and others from the AMWRRO Scientific Board will conduct the post mortem examination at AMWRRO on Wednesday afternoon. This is yet another extremely sensitive case that AMWRRO and The University of Adelaide are dealing with. AMWRRO will provide the Department for Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) with an accurate post mortem report once all tests results and findings are documented accordingly.
