Kent Dolphin Project

Kent Dolphin Project is a collaboration between Sussex Dolphin Project and Adonis Blue Environmental Consultants, part of the Kent Wildlife Trust Group. 

The ultimate objective is to identify individual dolphins/pods, in order to better understand their behaviour, movement, prey species and breeding sites. This data can then be used to protect our marine environment and ultimately safeguard cetaceans in Kent.

The project is currently operating a first phase of landwatch data gathering to establish a baseline of understanding about cetaceans in Kent waters. 

Following the completion of the first phase, the project partners will review the results and develop phase two of the project with the intention of encouraging cetacean sightings from members of the public.
