River Guardians’ Junior Dolphin Watch incursions are suitable for primary schools (years 1-6) and the first incursion is free (for one class, max size of 30 students). Subsequent incursions for the same school are $50 per session. Each incursion is approx. 1 hour. Students learn about the resident community of dolphins living in the Swan-Canning Riverpark. 

The incursion covers the "Dolphin Watch" citizen science project (Dolphin Watch - Projects - River Guardians | River Guardians), how we identify each individual dolphin and their behaviours, and the threats dolphins face living in a heavily urbanised environment. Students learn practical ways they can help protect the dolphins. The incursions consist of an interactive presentation with hands on activities. At the end of the session, the class will get to keep a hard copy of the latest FinBook Guide (riverguardians.com). (One copy per class). 

High School:

Junior Dolphin Watch incursions are modified for High School Students to meet needs of the year level. The incursion also covers information about the Marine Fauna Sightings App that our citizen scientists use to record dolphin sightings. Students are encouraged to download the App (please discuss with the Project Officer if this is appropriate for your students).
