Did you know one of the most well-known marine animals is in great danger? The dolphins are fighting to survive because of prey shortage from human fishing, river trafficking, and most well-known, pollution. So many people are fishing for food and aren’t thinking about what it could change. But, it changes so much because sharks, other fish, and DOLPHINS still need food to survive like we do. Humans were hunting and selling dolphins, even killing them for food. This was until dolphin exports became illegal, but it was only for the Soloman islands. The oceans are also getting wildly polluted by people throwing trash into the ocean not thinking it would become a big cause until everyone followed. It caused so many marine animals to be endangered and some at the verge of extinction. But there are things we can do to help! We can stop using so much plastic, join beach cleanup clubs, and also travel the sea responsibly.
