Dolphin AND ANIMAL Protection Programs

Human Protection

There are some places that want to help save dolphins. Under a voluntary program their are skippers being trained to use dolphin saving maneuvers. The worst  skippers are being taken from the fleet. This program is sponsored by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission. There are other places that want to help protect dolphins and other sea animals too. Some examples are the Humane Society, the Sea Shepard Society, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and National Resources. Also scientists have thought of a new way to help dolphins. They play killer whale sounds through underwater microphones. This scares dolphins away.  Hopefully this will help save dolphins from fishing net catastrophes.  Places like Sea World take care of and train dolphins. Trainers show the dolphins how to do tricks on command. 

HAZARDS

 Some of the hazards dolphins face include trash such as six pack rings, fishing tackle and cans. Other hazards include insect spray and electrical cords.
