Speaker Rony Ling and the Central Coast Dolphin Project

CENTRAL Coast “citizen scientists” are being recruited to learn more about dolphins in our local waterways. This morning we heard from Ronny Ling, from the Central Coast Dolphin Project  which documents the behaviour of dolphins as well as different species that visit our Coastal waterways. The information helps to develop strategies and plans to help protect our dolphins and their environment. The information helps to develop strategies and plans to help protect our dolphins and their environment. 

The team is some of the most experienced in Australia when it comes to handling marine mammal emergencies and incidents, and the authorities often ask them for advice with situations. 

The Dolphin Project advocates to protect the environment and works primarily with dolphins, seals and whales in our waterways from Broken Bay to Catherine Hill Bay. 

Ronny was formally a committee member and president for the Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans in Australia (ORRCA) for seventeen years. Ronny has decades of experience rescuing and protecting whales and dolphins. 

Our club is keen to do a field trip with Ronny next year during the whale watching season. We have a lot to learn and look forward to taking advantage of learning from an expert in the field. Thanks Ronny!!!
