dolphins and porpoises is entanglement in fishing gear, also known as bycatch.
If current trends continue unabated, several cetacean species and many
populations will be lost in the next few decades. With the support of its
members and international conservation partners, WWF is working to ensure that
whales, dolphins and porpoises will swim in our seas for generations to come." -
