Why Dolphin Conservation Needs Support
Help protect dolphins before bycatch, disturbance and habitat change put more populations at risk.
If you want to support marine conservation, dolphins are a strong example of why action matters. They live close to people, which makes them especially vulnerable to fishing gear, noise and coastal change.
Co-Exist Projects helps connect support to projects working on real conservation outcomes for dolphins and the habitats they depend on.
WHY ARE RAYS SO IMPORTANT?
Dolphins play an important role in keeping their environment in balance. They eat other animals – mainly fish and squid – and are themselves a source of food for some sharks and other creatures. Without dolphins, the animals they prey on would increase in number, and their predators wouldn’t have as much to eat. Dolphins rid the water of sick fish, helping to cut down on infectious disease among fish populations. … As the Peruvian ecology group Mundo Azule points out, dolphins are sanitary police of the ocean and killing them results in more disease and lower fish populations.
