Can you help scientists spot whales and dolphins in Port Phillip Bay?

from Out of the Blue · host Presenters: James Whitmore, Tessa Campisi, Tegan Atkins; Guest: Jemima Beddoe

Melbourne has a surprising number of marine mammals, right in our watery backyard. Seals and dolphins live in the bay, and even whales sometimes visit. But to help protect these animals, scientists need to know more about them. On March 1 the Marine Mammal Foundation is hosting its first Marine Mammal Bioblitz, and is asking people to come and help search for marine mammals. Jemima Beddoe, Research Associate at the foundation, joins us to explain how the bioblitz works. Find out how to get involved in the bioblitz at: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/port-phillip-bay-marine-mammal-bioblitz-tickets-1117190700459Image: Dolphins in Port Phillip Bay.
