Scientists have found further evidence that dolphins call each other by "name". Research has revealed that the marine mammals use a unique whistle to identify each other. The foundation for this project is based upon the 12 years of research that NL P has completed while operating out of Walvis Bay. Through years of boat-based work and acoustic surveys, an in-depth understanding of he resident population was obtaidut. Numbering fewer than 100 individuals, it is one of the smallest population of mammals in southern Africa and among the most vulnerable, underscoring the need for strict conservation measures to support population management.
