Sustainable Fishing
How is commercial fishing a threat to dolphins and birdlife?
Overfishing also threatens the dolphins' porpoises' life. 300,000 dolphins are killed each year bycatch, including the whales. Dolphins are being caught with the nets that people use to catch fish in the ocean, and the worst thing is, before they put the dolphins back in the ocean, the dolphins were already dead because they can’t breathe. Commercial gillnetting has been killing so many dolphin species, like Hector Dolphins, and Maui’s Dolphins. Dolphins are being killed faster than they can breed in three decades. 23 Hector's dolphins die each year in gillnetting. Also with the bird's life, they are dying because of the rubbish. 14,400 sea birds are dying each year because of rubbish.
