During a fishing operation in the waters of Gwadar, more than 500 dolphins were filmed jumping close to a boat. Experts say that such a large presence is a positive sign for the local marine environment and biodiversity.
Which dolphins appear in the video?
The footage shows a sizable group of dolphins leaping near the fishing vessel. Scientists identified them as Trusiops adenks, the scientific name for this species.
Call for marine wildlife protection
Researchers welcomed the sighting of this group in Gwadar's waters and used it to highlight the need for protecting marine life. They added that conservation efforts should also give importance to whales and other sea animals alongside dolphins.
