Camera systems are indispensable for any research project. In our projects, these camera systems are primarily 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 photography and flight counts
This modern drone system is equipped with a high-resolution Hasselblad camera and delivers razor-sharp images of the animals. It is used by our team to monitor behavior and, in some cases, fishing activities in the research area. The drone can be launched and landed from the research vessel. High-resolution video recordings of the animals are also possible.

These special pools are urgently needed to care for and look after the rescued La Plata dolphins until they can be released back into a suitable habitat in the sea. The pools 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 the La Plata dolphins. The animals will remain in the pools for several weeks to months until they have recovered. They must be cared for around the clock until it is certain that they can live independently and no longer require human assistance.

These special transport boxes allow stranded and rescued La Plata dolphins to be taken to the rehabilitation center, where they are immediately examined and treated according to their injuries. Transport is carried out using our research vehicles, which we also use to conduct beach inspections.

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

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