Dolphins in the Port River

120 Dolphins live in the Port River Cruises on the Port Princess will show you not only the beauty of the Port River and its surroundings but the amazing life of Dolphins. Don't forget to bring your camera!		Only 2 places in the world ! Did you know that the Port River is only 1 of 2 places in the world with permanent dolphin pods? The bottlenose dolphin lives in the Port River estuary in Adelaide, South Australia virtually in the heart of a city of a million people.

Dolphins living & breeding in the wild There are about 30 resident dolphins living in the estuary and either side there are two other dolphin groups, one to the north and one to the south. Each group specialises in a different habitat type: sheltered estuary, sandy beaches and muddy mangrove flats. All three groups socialise together in the outer parts of the estuary.		Several mothers with babies. These bottlenose dolphins may well be the most urbanised population in the world. Their situation exposes them to a wide range of problems including toxic pollution, habitat damage, accidental injury, entanglement in marine litter and sadly even deliberate killing.
