We report high rates of site use and site occupancy by this species during the summer. Although trends in site use may not reflect population trends in the wider region, these data were consistent with recent abundance estimates that indicate that the number of bottlenose dolphins using Cardigan Bay is stable or slightly increasing.</abstract><purpose>Cardigan Bay is a Special Area of Conservation for bottlenose dolphins and other species and habitats.
