Watamu – Malindi Beach is located in the rich, shallow coastal waters off north-central Kenya and includes the Watamu Banks. A long-term photo-identification study shows that dolphins are resident in the area, with mothers and calves frequently observed in the nearshore waters of the Watamu Marine National Park.Â
