Dolphins In The Bay
Working in the Bay of Antalya
During our research in Antalya in 2015 and 2016, we regularly came across bottlenose dolphins and Cuvier’s beaked whales in the bay of Antalya. However, there have been worryingly low recordings of both these animals in the last few years so the project was resurrected in January 2020 to ascertain whether there really had been a drop in the abundance of these species.

Dolphins in the Bay utilises theodolites (specialist engineering equipment) from high vantage points amid the cliffs of Antalya in order to accurately map the positions of both cetaceans and the marine vessels that may be having an impact on them.
