This project is focused on identifying and studying the behaviour of what is thought to be the only semi-resident pod of Spinner dolphins in Moon Reef, Fiji. With the addition of a local awareness-raising campaign, we aim to help the local community protect not only the Spinner dolphins, but the whole of their traditional fishing grounds. Fundraising efforts can empower local communities to manage their own marine resources in more sustainable ways.

Often times, it is not only a spouse and children that are abused in domestic violence situations, but also pets. Pets are often abused and used to manipulate a victim from leaving an abusive household.
