Dolphins in danger from hunting in the Pacific Ocean


In this article we talk about the lack of awareness about the slaughter of dolphins in the Pacific Ocean, Solomon Islands .

Jewelry Is Made From Dolphin Teeth

The root cause is due to the poverty of the island as income using dolphins as much profit they get from dolphins are teeth that are valued at 70 US and meat for household consumption and sale .

The great slaughter of dolphins is due to the great price that was given to her teeth , scientists says this is damaging the ecosystem. Studies say that a people get a count of dolphins killed and the figure rises to 15,000 between 1976 and 2013 this gives us a figure of 405 dolphins per year . One of the main risk is the increased price that gives a dolphin teeth .

Hunting Stopped, Then Started Again



In 2010 scientists reached an agreement with the settlers and stopped the dolphin hunts but in 2013 broke this agreement in the period of 3 months 1600 killed dolphins.

At this time , there is no group for the protection of small mammals such as dolphins.
 
Dolphin hunting is becoming increasingly popular worldwide . Many fishermen start this kind of hunting for their market prices.
 
Often trap dolphins when they can not find the fish they are looking for . The populations of these fish are low due to over fishing and pollution in these villages.
