Delfin protection worldwide

Every year more than 300,000 whales and dolphins die as a by-catch in fishnets. In addition, the marine mammals are threatened by hunting, overfishing, sea pollution, underwater noise, ship collisions or mass tourism. Since 1991, the company has been resetting to the rescue of the dolphins with its partners worldwide for survival of threatened dolphin populations and the protection of their habitats.

Spirit networks threaten the marine species variety

In all seas, there is a problem with marine pollution, including by spirit networks. Ghost's Networks are fishermen networks intentionally left or lost and as deadly traps - drifting in the marine currents - unselfish and unfortunately far too effective. Estimated 640,000 tons of spiritual networks kill more than 136,000 seafood, sea lions, dolphins, whales, soul lions, dolphins, whales, and also millions of birds, turtles, fish and even smaller organisms necessary for the ocosystem sea. Around 800 species are affected worldwide. The living things caught in the long-lasting networks, and often drown painful. Ghost's networks are a tremendous threat to the marine species variety

Protect habitats

Dolphin and whale protection project La Gomera

The waters in front of La Gomera and around the Canary Islands are among the most advanced regions of this earth - still! 29 Wal and dolphin types have already been documented here. Many of them are to be observed regularly. But ruthless whalewatching, (e.g., before Tenerife), collisions with quick ferries, overfishing and marine pollution endanger the survival of the dolphins and whales in front of La Gomera.

This marine area must urgently protect against excessive use. And that's exactly where the work of the project starts. Therefore, the development of protective concepts is one of its central tasks. In addition, the influence of man is explored on the dolphins and whales in front of La Gomera. This also serves to establish rules for sustainable whalewatching

South Africa: Protection project for lead-colored dolphins

Since 2017, we have been supporting South African Sea Biologin Shanan Atkins and her team of Humpack Dolphin Research from Johannesburg and Richards Bay (KwaZulu-Natal). Together we want to prevent the extinction of the lead-colored dolphins in South Africa. Richards Bay is an important place and by-catch hotspot for lead-colored dolphins. They like to come here and often here and here they die too. Because alone the hornet installed before the beaches of Richards Bay are responsible for 60 percent of all attachments of lead-colored dolphins in South Africa!
