'This study, which demonstrates the potential importance of Spinner Dolphins to the health and resilience of coral reefs, underscores the need for improved conservation of cetaceans and management of fisheries across the Indian Ocean.' Going forwards, the team hopes to gather more evidence to determine whether the distribution of the spinner dolphins corresponds with indicators of healthy coral reefs.
