1. Dolphins Save Red Sea Coral Reefs
Summary: Bottlenose dolphins in the Red Sea attract tourists to eco-friendly tours, aiding coral reef conservation.
News: Researchers from Hurghada University (Egypt) found that bottlenose dolphins play a vital role in restoring Red Sea coral reefs by drawing tourists to sustainable diving tours. This reduces pressure on reefs from unregulated tourism. Supported by the UN Environment Programme, the project shows increased interest in eco-tourism, highlighting dolphins as key indicators of ecosystem health.

2. Microplastics Threaten Mediterranean Dolphins
Summary: Microplastics found in Mediterranean dolphins’ tissues endanger their health, sparking action in Spain.
News: Oceana’s report revealed microplastics in the tissues of Mediterranean dolphins, impacting their immune and reproductive systems. Spain launched a nationwide campaign to reduce plastic waste, including bans on single-use plastics in coastal areas. As apex predators, dolphins reflect the state of marine ecosystems, underscoring the urgent need for global anti-pollution measures.
