Violet is one of Port Phillip’s remarkable common dolphins, and was named after a very special supporter of the Dolphin Research Institute.


Violet was first seen in Port Phillip in 2015 and became a first-time mum in early 2020. Violet spent the next one and a half years raising her young calf in the protected waters of the Bay.
Whilst we don’t often spot her in Port Phillip, we believe this free spirited dolphin often spends her time out in Bass Strait, likely socialising with hundreds of other common dolphins.
