In 2002, Underwater World Singapore rescued and released a young Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin that was stranded in a kelong off Pasir Ris.

 
   
 
Underwater World Singapore has also been studying the oestrus cycling and gestation of the Indo-Pacific Humpback dolphin, and has collected a vast amount of data on the clinical health parameters (such as blood analyses, hormone levels etc). Such scientific knowledge about these endangered marine mammals could never be obtained through studies in the wild. We are hopeful that these studies may help in the preservation of this fascinating dolphin species.

 
   
 
A pink dolphin calf was born on November 6, 2002 at the Dolphin Lagoon. This was the first successful and documented birth of the Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin at any marine park in the world.
