The importance of spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) resting habitat: implications for management

2015-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Linking key ecological characteristics with animal behaviour is essential for identifying and protecting important habitats that support life functions. Spinner dolphins display a predictable diurnal behavioural pattern where they forage offshore at night and return to sheltered bays during daytime to rest. These bays, which are also subject to considerable use by humans, have long been recognized as key habitats...
