Research
Monkey Mia is also the lab location for extensive behavioural and biological research on bottlenose dolphins. Drawn to the area's famous 'beach dolphins', researchers Richard Connor and Rachel Smolker started the Monkey Mia Dolphin research project in 1982. Their research interests quickly expanded to include hundreds of the nearby Shark Bay dolphins. Since this visit, scientists have come from prestigious institutions in Australia, North America and Europe. The dolphins have been extensively studied by this international team of scientists since 1984.
