World Dolphin Day

This day was established to raise awareness about the need to protect dolphins and to commemorate the tragic event on September 12, 2021, when 1,428 dolphins were killed in the Faroe Islands. Dolphins are considered indicator species, meaning their health reflects the overall health of the marine environment. Monitoring dolphin populations can provide insights into the state of marine ecosystems. As apex predators, dolphins help regulate the populations of fish and squid, ensuring a balanced food web.
