DOLPHIN population is on the rise off Karnataka's coast despite rising sea temperatures, coastal erosion and climatic variations posing a threat to aquatic species.

Experts said dolphins learn to adapt quickly to changing situations which has led to an increase in sightings of humpback dolphin, bottlenose dolphin and long-beaked common dolphins.

Experts and forest department officials stressed the need for a detailed study on this, and the forest department is undertaking a study on the dolphins by geo-tagging them.

The need for a study has arisen after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on March 3, released India's first river dolphin report which documented 6,324 gangetic dolphins and three Indus river dolphins.
