Visual detections of Snubfin Dolphins (Orcaella heinsohni) in the Kimberley Region, Western Australia (2004-2020)

Sightings of Snubfin Dolphins (Orcaella heinsohni) were collated from a variety of published and unpublished sources. Two 14-day surveys undertaken between Darwin and Broome to describe the presence of snubfins in nearshore tidal river environments (datasets ID OH-001 and OH-002 (b) four 20-day offshore biodiversity surveys conducted under contract with industry (OH-003) in the waters of the Bonaparte Archipelago and Browse Basin; (c) 46 daily surveys of Roebuck Bay run along predetermined transect lines (OH-004); (d) 36 collaborative surveys undertaken by coastal Indigenous Ranger groups (Nyamba Buru Yawuru, Dambimangari, Balanggarra, and Uunguu) on their respective Sea Countries [OH-005005], in addition to a 3-day intensive census of snubfins in the YawuruNagulagan/Roebuck BayMarine Park.
