• Do not throw fish scraps in the water.
• Reel in fishing lines if dolphins are close.

Summer
Summer used to regularly visit the Pat with her mum Tiffany until 2019, just before Tiffany had her new calf Galaxy.
Sometimes we would see Tiffany and Summer travelling up and down the Pat with another mum and calf pair, Lartelare and June. Summer is still occasionally seen in the Pat, but spends most of her time around Outer Harbour and in the Port River.
In 2020, we noticed Summer had sustained injuries to her dorsal fin. We do not know what caused these injuries. They may have come from a shark or being hit by a boat. She did lose part of the top of her fin and has a few notches in the middle of the trailing edge of her fin, but fortunately the injuries were not too severe.
