Advanced information.

The fishermen’s net traps the dolphins’ mouth, and after struggling for twenty minutes or so, they die.

There is a famous dolphin called Ringo in Hong Kong. It was trapped in a fishing net, but luckily, the fisherman realized it and jumped in the water to set it free! It made a deep cut in it’s neck.

The main problems for the dolphins are, pollution, habitat loss, over fishing and boat traffic.

The pollution traps the dolphins and suffocates it. The habitat loss forces them to move away. Over fishing decreases the amount of food they eat, and the propeller in the boat cuts them.

Does it matter to us?It is our job to keep them alive and safe.

We can do that by reduce, refuse, recycle and re-use the rubbish that we make.

Put yourselves in the dolphins shoes before you do something.

Give the next generation a chance to see these nature’s beauties.
