Field studies of dolphin foraging behaviour were carried out between 2000 and 2002 in Cockburn Sound with two objectives: 1) to quantify the foraging habitat use of dolphins within Cockburn Sound and; 2) to identify the spatial and temporal patterns of large (10+ individuals) aggregrations of foraging dolphins.
