The Concern
Bottlenose Dolphins are becoming endangered from many reasons, such as pollution, entrapment in fishing gear, and also habitat degradation. Also another reason why they are becoming endangered is because of harvesting low frequency sonar. Which means that the sonars noise goes through the ocean and it destroys their hearing, and causes their ears and lungs to hemorrhage.

Our plan
We are not really sure what we can do to help out these dolphins but there are a few things that we could think of off the top of my head. One thing that I thought about was making a law for fishing dolphin. Like if you fish for dolphins and you get caught, you have to pay a big fine for it. I am sure you all know not to do this but it is one of the main reasons why they are endangered, but if you have waste put it in a bag till you get off your boat instead of throwing it in the ocean. When you are fishing there is not much you can do from getting things stuck into it, but you can at least watch your fishing gears to make sure nothing is that you do not want to be there.
