What is aDolphin Defender ? • A Dolphin Defender is someone who loves dolphins and other animals • Is keen to learn more about them and how they live • Wants to help protect them, other marine wildlife and the ocean in which they live • Is that you??
Who is Sea Watch Foundation ? Sea Watch is a charity that works closely with the public to protect (conserve) whales, dolphins and porpoises (cetaceans) in British and Irish waters. Phew! That is good news, because I am a porpoise

A Dolphin Defender needs to know what threats we face so they can help.. • Illness because of pollution and rubbish • Competition over fish with humans • Capture and drowning in fishing nets • Becoming stranded on beaches because of noisy Navel ships that use sonar, or drilling • Being injured by boat propellers
Chris Flint Smoothy Nic Nic Topnotch What can you do to help? • Report your sightings • Reduce rubbish in the sea… • …. so don’t litter! • …. and clean up rubbish you see on the beach! • Adopt a dolphin
