Are dolphins doomed?
They're certainly taking a
hit


         By Sicily Fields
What is happening?
 Severalmass deaths of dolphins have
 occurred over the past few years and
 while experts are worried about the die-
 off they say we are not witnessing a
 global population crash.
Who is it effecting?
 only
     certain populations of the effected
 species have been hit hard

 thepast two years have been rough for
 several species of dolphins, but not all of
 the nearly 40 species of dolphins are in
 hot water.
How can we help?
   reducing pollution can help these animals, as
    chemicals such as PCBs can be transported by air
    for thousands of miles before being deposited into
    the marine environment
    Don’t feed the wild dolphins,the practice brings
    dolphins closer to the dangers of being struck by
    boats or tangled in fishing lines and disrupts the
    animals' social groups
