Camera systems are indispensable for every research project. In our projects, these camera systems are mainly used to obtain accurate images for photo identification, but also to monitor the development of skin injuries over time. The dolphins are photographed and their dorsal fin/skin region is registered in the database and compared with existing images of the animals.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic Drone – New DJI Mavic 3 Classic Research Drone for Photo Shooting and Flight Counting
This modern drone system is equipped with a high-resolution Hasselblad camera and provides razor-sharp images of the animals. It is used by our team to monitor the behaviour and, in some cases, the fishing activities in the research area. The drone can be launched and landed from the research boat. High-resolution video recordings of the animals are also possible.

These special tanks are urgently needed to care for and care for the rescued La Plata dolphins until they can be released back into a suitable habitat in the sea. The water basins are equipped with a high-quality filter system and a pump system. This is the only way to achieve optimal water quality for the animals, which is crucial for the survival of La Plata dolphins. The stay of the animals until recovery lasts several weeks to months. The animals must be cared for around the clock until it is ensured that they can lead an independent life and are no longer dependent on human help.

In these special transport boxes, the stranded and rescued La Plata dolphins can be taken to the rehabilitation station, where they are immediately examined and treated according to the injury. Transport is carried out with our research vehicles, which we also use to carry out beach checks.

This corresponds to the weekly medication costs to have a rescued La Plata dolphin treated by specially trained doctors. Regular administration of the medication is crucial for the dolphins' survival.

A daily ration of the special rearing milk for a La Plata dolphin. This is a special rearing milk for dolphin calves and newborns, which is very high in calories and ensures an adequate supply of the dolphins even in small quantities. Since the stomachs of La Plata dolphin calves are very small, only small amounts of this milk can be fed. The animals are fed at short intervals with this special milk, which we have to source from the USA and import to South America.
