News Update February 2007
Three New Baby Dolphins at Monkey Mia
Summer is breeding season for the Monkey Mia dolphins. Be sure to keep your eyes out for baby dolphins learning the ways of the ocean!
Monkey Mia is perhaps the most well known place in the Shark Bay World Heritage Park. Monkey Mia is a resort on the Shark bay peninsula. The fishing town of Denham is the major town. Shark Bay covers an area of 25,000 Kmsq. The Park includes around 300 kilometres of sealed bitumen road together with an additional 600 kilometres of unsealed road. Whilst the population is transient due to seasonal fishing, a permanent annual population of around 1000 live in the region.
Monkey Mia, from its humble beginnings in the 1960's, has now responded to increased visitor numbers with the provision of an environmentally sensitive Resort. The Monkey Mia Resort provides a selection of accommodation facilities ranging from camping, backpacker hostel to on site chalets and garden villas plus swimming pool/spa, licensed bar and restaurant and a wide selection of recreational activities.
The famous Monkey Mia Dolphins still visit the beaches of Monkey Mia on a daily basis and are easily accessible from the resort by way of a short walk from the camping and accommodations areas. Previous unrestricted access to the Monkey Mia Dolphins by visitors was believed to be having a negative effect on their behaviour in particular hand feeding. Feeding and interacting with the dolphins has now, quite sensibly, been controlled by way of Rangers working on behalf of the Conservation and Land Management Authority (CALM).

Monkey Mia Dolphins
Bottle nose dolphins have always been in the monkey mia area and have visit the beaches since the early 1960s and before that the local fisherman use to feed them the scraps from the days fishing. You must remember that the dolphins are wild animals and are fed in a manner allowing human contact whislts ensuring they do not become stressed or dependent on hand feeding as did become the case in the early years . Monkey mia dolphins need about 6 kg of fish a day so they are only fed about a third of this amount. The dolphins will therefore still have to hunt for extra food for themselves and also helping their calves to fend for themselves. The dolphins feeding times are around 8.00am but no gaurantee.

Monkey Mia Resort
The Monkey Mia Resort is situated right on the famous dolphin beach and has quality accommodation to suit all budgets. It has a swimming pool, a hot tub, tennis & volleyball nets, a supermarket, a cafe, a restaurant and a cocktail bar. The Monkey Mia Resort is an excellent place to stay when you are in Shark bay. Besides you have the opportunity to enjoy a wild life cruise on one of the luxury catamarans that reside at the Monkey Mia Resort. www.monkey-mia.net called the "Aristocat 2" or www.monkeymiawildlifesailing.com.au The " Shotover" or maybe a ride in a stretch limo or some stargazing may suit you.
