Mozambique, please protect your Dolphins!

As tourism increases, so too does the risk to the Dolphins captured in this footage.

The waters of Southern Mozambique have resident Dolphins at risk of injury from boats, disturbed breeding and resting areas due to 'visitors' and the waters are at risk of pollution.

We ask the government of Mozambique to consider this petition to ensure the on-going welfare, safety, breeding and continued good health of both the Dolphins and the waters that they call 'home'.

Please 'educate' and 'guide' ALL visitors and businesses. The impact that they have is often NOT considered and we ask you to offer suitable information to them.

We thank you for considering the continued welfare of these beautiful creatures and offer our support in the above, and assistance, should it be required.

We the undersigned ask the government of Mozambique to consider the following:

We ask the government to establish guidelines and 'rules of engagement' (as advised by EXPERTS) to ensure the safety and continued harmony of the dolphins captured in the attached footage, and others in surrounding waters.

The height of tourist season and continued interaction is likely to have a NEGATIVE effect on these Dolphins.

ALSO:

While we recognise the importance of the 'tourist dollars', we also recognise that they bring with them additional waste. This waste must be managed to ensure that the waters remain free from toxins, plastics and other dangers to these animals.

We ask the government to set additional guidelines for ALL tour operators and private vessels, to ensure that they take responsibility for the removal and disposal of their 'guests' rubbish and that NOTHING  is thrown or dumped into the waters (including human waste).  

Please 'educate' these people about the impact that they have by offering suitable information.

We thank you for considering the continued welfare of these beautiful creatures and offer our support in the above, and assistance, should it be required.
