Since 2009, wildlife biologist and president of the Dolphin Watch Alliance (DWA), Angela Ziltener, has been studying the behaviour of the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) in the Red Sea. At the same time, she is committed to the sustainable protection of dolphins and respectful treatment of them – a necessity, as their way of life is increasingly being affected by growing tourism. While research observations are usually carried out from boats, the conditions off Hurghada and El Gouna also allow for underwater studies using scuba diving equipment. This approach is unique worldwide for Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins.
