Fact of the Day: Dolphins
Did you know that dolphins are excellent swimmers and love to play in the waves? These friendly marine mammals can swim at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour! They communicate with each other using special clicks, whistles, and body movements. Dolphins are known for their acrobatic jumps and flips, which they do for fun and to catch fish. So next time you're at the beach, keep an eye out for these playful creatures and see if you can spot them riding the waves!
Isn't that amazing? Now, let's think about how we can help protect dolphins and their habitat.
How Can You Help?
Here are some fun and easy ways you can make a big difference:
Keep our oceans clean: Dolphins rely on clean and healthy oceans to thrive. Help protect their habitat by reducing waste and recycling whenever possible. Dispose of trash properly and participate in beach clean-ups to prevent pollution from reaching the ocean.
Choose dolphin-friendly seafood: When eating seafood, make sustainable choices. Look for labels or certifications that ensure the seafood was caught or farmed in an environmentally friendly manner, without harming dolphins or their habitats. By selecting dolphin-friendly options, you can support sustainable fishing practices.
Be mindful around dolphins: If you encounter dolphins in the wild, remember to observe them from a respectful distance. Avoid chasing, feeding, or touching them, as this can disrupt their natural behavior. Admire their beauty from afar and appreciate their presence without causing harm.
