Rachel Simpson talks to Southern Cross University marine ecologist Dr Daniele Cagnazzi about rare snubfin and humpback dolphins in the Queensland coastal region being affected by chemicals such as DDT, PCB and HCB that have been banned since the 1970s.

Due to the University of Auckland being currently under construction, drilling in the background left much of the interview inaudible. Dr Cagnazzi was very patient and as much of his interview has been salvaged as possible. Rachel summarises his other points. 

For those interested, here is Dr. Cagnazzi's wider marine ecology research project: https://www.capricorncetaceansproject.com/
