Description
Hector’s Dolphins are unique to New Zealand and their numbers are declining. They are easily recognisable by their rounded dorsal fins and grey and black markings.
The Hector’s Dolphin App gives you the opportunity to report sightings and help improve protection for these dolphins. The sightings will provide important conservation information and help reverse the continuing decline in Hector’s dolphin populations.
Photographs and locations of sightings provide the most important information so please take advantage of the App’s facility to record these.
We are particularly interested in sightings in the top part of the South Island and the lower North Island (Wanganui, Wellington, Wairarapa) but please report all sightings.
The App also allows you to report sightings of other whale and dolphin species.
Whale & Dolphin Conservation thanks SaferMe and Gemma McGrath for developing this App.

Comments on Hector's Dolphin Sightings for Android
★★★★★
Great app to help identify & protect NZ Dolphins.
★★★★★
Help a beautiful species Easy to make dolphin sightings wherever you are. get involved and help Hector's and Maui dolphins.
★★☆☆☆
Could be slicker, no one has reported a sighting. Ever? There's no photo of the dolphin to help you recognise the right one. Look up a PDF if you need help. There are no existing sightings so does the thing even work? On phone making choices in the form flings you to new screens to choose between 2 options. Nice idea but it needs to be easy to report and validation that the thing works would help with the clunkiness. It seems to think Hector's dolphins are European and subject to the GDPR.
