Worlddolphinday Is Coming Up This Friday. One Of T..

#WorldDolphinDay 🐬 is coming up this Friday!

One of the largest threats dolphins face is bycatch, the incidental capture of non-target species such as whales, dolphins, marine turtles and seabirds.

Wherever there is fishing there is bycatch. Modern fishing gear 🎣 is strong and nearly undetectable, making it highly effective for catching fish. However, this indestructible netting does not discriminate and is designed to trap anything in its path. A staggering amount of marine life is hauled up and discarded overboard.

Together with our partners, WWF is developing, testing and implementing alternative fishing gear, integrating conservation science into effective fisheries management and working to strengthen legislation on bycatch.
