How climate affects dolphins

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm on 10 October 2017

Major climate events, like El Niño, are affecting Dolphins - and not in good ways, new research suggests.

The Australian study looked at the movements and abundance of certain dolphins in certain areas and found extreme weather had a big influence on dolphin numbers and patterns.

It's expected to get a lot worse as climate change makes these weather events more frequent. 

We speak to Dr Kate Sprogis, from Murdoch university, who lead the team behind the study.
