Port River users urged to report dolphin attacks Lunar And Bubbles. Picture: Marianna Boorman Source: adelaidenow THE Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary says it will take legal action against people found attacking the Port River dolphins, and is encouraging people to report dangerous behaviour. Sanctuary manager Cristina Vicente said the group confronted someone seen throwing rocks at Captain Hook in St Kilda about a month ago. "We'll build intelligence and if we think we have enough to go to court we will take them to court," Ms Vicente said. If it happens again ... we'll probably have enough evidence. Ms Vicente said there had been two reported incidents of people throwing rocks at Captain Hook, who has ventured out to St Kilda in search of food, but she believed other had gone unreported. Ms Vicente believed fishermen had thrown rocks at Captain Hook because they were frustrated he was scaring the fish away. People may throw rocks at him thinking they can scare him away but actually if they hit him, they can kill him. Anyone who notices dangerous behaviour around the dolphins should call the 24-hour reporting line on 1300 650 411 and use the page number 465281. Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society member Marianna Boorman shares her latest adventures photographing the Port River Dolphins: Hi Everyone, We have some exciting news with the arrival of a new calf to the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary Dolphin Pod. Tiffany has had her calf. Her beautiful little calf is named Summer. It appears healthy and is swimming well. Summer is Tiffany's third calf. Her first calf Star is now eight, and her second calf Bubbles is now four. Dolphins generally have a new calf every 3-4 years. Both this season's new calves Doc and Summer appear healthy at this stage. Calves are very vulnerable at such a young age. It is therefore very important that boats, jet skis and kayakers do not approach them so that they can rest and learn the proper swimming techniques from their mums. Captain Hook is continuing to get our attention for the wrong reasons. Recently out on his water patrol, Dr Mike Bossley (Whale and Dolphin Conservation - science and education manager) observed Hooky approaching his boat in search of a free feed. From the underwater photo you can see Hook with two other dolphins nearby. Thankfully there was no way Hooky would have been fed from this boat but it highlights how easy it would be for other dolphins to learn this behaviour. Hooky has already suffered many injuries due to being fed. The Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary rangers have done a great job developing new 'Please do not feed the dolphins' signs to help protect Captain Hook and his friends. Hopefully we are another step closer to stopping this behaviour all together. Thank you very much to everyone who is helping to spread the word to stop people feeding wild dolphins. It has certainly been a great month. On the same morning when first watching Tiffany and Summer, I also saw Lunar, Bubbles, Bronny and Ripple jumping and mucking around. There are not many places in the world where you can be on land watching a mother dolphin with her brand new calf at the same time as watching some of the older dolphins playing and leaping into the air. We are incredibly lucky to have these amazing animals living so close to the city of Adelaide and it is vital that we do all we can to help protect them. Look out for the next Dolphin Diary on Friday, April 5. Best Wishes Marianna Captain Hook Underwater with two other dolphins. Picture: Mike Bossley Tiffany And Summer. Picture: Marianna Boorman
