I’m back!
This
week at HKDCS started off great! We had some really exciting sightings during
our land-based theodolite tracking surveys at the airport. Some of the
sightings were even in close proximity to some very heavy marine vessel traffic
and the reclaimed shoreline of the airport. It was impressive to see the
dolphins co-exist in such an environment, and after this week I am hopeful for
their ability to adapt to the human stressors in their habitat. However only
time will tell if they can actually succeed in face of all these accumulating impacts. All of us here at HKDCS really hope so!
Later in
the week we received some rainy weather and so many of our field surveys were
postponed to next week. Here’s hoping the weather clears up and we get some
great fieldwork completed in August!
Until then,
Danielle
