Endangered dolphins

Dolphins are mammals that live in the ocean that are related to whales and porpoises. There are over 30 various species of dolphins, some of which are endangered dolphins. These endangered dolphins include river dolphins, like the Yangtze River Dolphin, the Ganges River Dolphin, and the Amazon River Dolphin. It is now believed that the Yangtze River Dolphin is no longer endangered dolphins but is instead extinct.

There are many reasons that these dolphins have become endangered dolphins. One reason for these endangered dolphins is environmental reasons. Much of the habitats and food sources of these endangered dolphins has become contaminated over the past few years. Some of the pollutants include heavy metals, pesticides and other chemicals, plastics, and even agricultural and industrial chemicals and other pollutants. None of these pollutants rapidly disintegrate in the environment and are greatly affecting the habitats and food sources of dolphins.

There are also other reasons that these dolphins have become endangered dolphins. One reason for these endangered dolphins is boating accidents. Dolphins will sometimes run into the propellers of boats and other marine vehicles and will be killed. One way to prevent this is to make sure that you follow all boating and engine rules wherever you are in the in ocean. Another theory for these endangered dolphins is loud noises in the water from sonar and other tools. These loud noises distress the dolphins and may cause them to come to the surface of the water more quickly than they should which may cause sickness due to decompression.

Endangered dolphins are also endangered due to fishing practices. Many tuna and other fishermen use fishing practices that cause numerous dolphins to be killed accidentally when they get caught in the fishing nets. One way to prevent these endangered dolphins from becoming more endangered is to make sure that you buy food items with the "Dolphin Safe" label. These fish products were caught by methods that do not cause dolphins to become endangered dolphins.

Remember that you want this world to be the same, if not better, for your descendents and one way to do this is to make sure that you are protecting the endangered species of our world. Make sure that you consistently recycle and buy products that do not harm endangered species. More importantly make sure that you properly store and dispose of your trash, especially when you are out in the open water. If everyone in the world did these things consistently,t here would be a lot less endangered species in the world today.
