This document specifies a sampling design for long-term monitoring of dolphin populations in Darwin Harbour. In order to monitor and assess the impact of construction activities associated with the INPEX Ichthys Development Project, INPEX Browse Ltd. (INPEX) and Northern Territory Department of Natural Resources, Environment, the Arts and Sport (NRETAS) have agreed that an integrated monitoring programme will be implemented. The proposed research is to employ capture-recapture statistical models based on the capture
