Ile de Ré : un dauphin s'échoue sur la plage, les sauveteurs le ramènent au large. Littoral.
Ocean Conservation Society – Scientific Papers. Îles Salomon : reprise des abattages de dauphins. HONIARA, mercredi 19 février 2014 (Flash d’Océanie) – Une tribu des îles Salomon a mené fin janvier 2014 une nouvelle vague de chasse, de capture et d’battage de dauphins, malgré la signature, ces dernières années, d’un accord avec une organisation non gouvernementale de protection de ces mammifères.
Au cours des derniers jours de janvier, ce seraient ainsi pas moins de 350 individus qui auraient été massacrés, rapporte mardi le quotidien Solomon Star, qui souligne aussi la venue, pour le tournage d’un documentaire, de la chaîne Al-jazeera. Comme pour les précédentes tueries, c’est au village de Fanalei, sur l’île de Malaïta (îles Salomon), que les faits rapportés ont eu lieu, malgré le fait que cette communauté ait signé, il y a quelques années, un accord avec l’ONG américaine Earth Island Institute (EII).
SU biologist creates underwater noise monitoring system to help dolphins: CNY Science. Dolphins rely on sound to survive, using a kind of sonar called echolocation.
They emit sounds and listen to echoes to help them navigate. When noise pollution enters their habitat, it can disrupt their ability to get around safely, communicate with other dolphins and hunt productively. That's why the work of a Syracuse University biologist is an important step in helping dolphins maintain their sonar ability. Nathan Merchant, a postdoctoral biologist, has developed a system for tracking ships and monitoring underwater noise levels in a protected marine mammal habitat. He wrote about his research with scientists at the Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. Merchant focused on the bottlenose dolphin population in Scotland's Moray Firth, the country's largest inlet. The cumulative effect of many noisy ship passages can raise the physiological stress-level of marine mammals and affect foraging behavior. Types of Dolphins You Didn’t Even Know Existed.
There are two subspecies of the South Asian river dolphin, a freshwater dolphin that is the National Aquatic Animal of India and lives in the Ganges and Indus rivers.
It lacks a dorsal fin, and instead has more of a dorsal lump. This species has an elongated snout with lots of long, curved, sharp teeth that are visible even when its mouth is closed. While most dolphins use echolocation, the South Asian river dolphin is entirely reliant on it. Lacking a crystalline lens in its eyes, it is unable to see clear images and at most can distinguish light from darkness. Both the Indus and Ganges river dolphins are classified as endangered by the IUCN Red List. Warning about dangers of playing with 'friendly' dolphins Lynne Kelleher Published 22/06/2014. A leading marine biologist has urged swimmers not to enter the water with the country's friendly dolphins – for the safety of the much-loved marine mammals.
In the new, stunning RTE series, Ireland's Ocean, Dr Simon Berrow from the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group said research has shown that eight out of 10 of sociable solitary dolphins who interact with humans end up dead or injured. Dead dolphins found in fishing boat in La Libertad, Peru. Related Articles Northern Peru continues to be a dangerous place to be a marine mammal.
Two dead dolphins were found in a fishing boat in Pacasmayo, in the Peruvian region of La Libertad. It is illegal to hunt dolphins under Peruvian law. According to El Comercio, the dolphins were found during an inspection by port authorities of the ship known as “Mi Marcos.” The boat’s owner told authorities that the two dolphins had become entangled in his nets by accident. Authorities confiscated the dead animals and incinerated their remains. En Haiti les dauphins vivent libres. Au Japon, ils sont massacrés.

Measles-like Virus Is Killing Dolphins and Whales in Florida. ‘Flipper,’ a TV series that ran from 1964 to 1967, then again was revived for another 88 series, starred a lovable bottle-nosed dolphin.
The show also continued to play the older re-runs during many years afterwards, becoming a popular show many people grew up to know and love. Flipper, the seemingly smiling dolphin, touched many hearts as other bottle-nosed dolphins do in aquarium shows due to their high intelligence and tricks. Sadly, bottle-nosed and other species of dolphins are still threatened by commercial fishing. Now a new threat, a measles-like disease, has started to kill these beautiful animals since July and has shown its ugly face on the Florida coast. Documentaire ARTE - Dauphin, l’Homo Delphinus. Dolphin language : a scientific evidence ! Whistles and clicks here combined in some kind of "words" The text which will follow is maybe of the most important ever written in this end of the Century and could be compared to a Copernical revolution.
For the first time in its history, Humankind must cope with the evidence a of a perfectly elaborated non-human language, endowed with its own syntax and open vocabulary. It seems now definetly proved that dolphins, belugas, orcas, whales, spermwhales and all other cetaceans are speaking to each other by the means of local dialects that they learned during their childhood. Of course, we still don't know WHAT cetaceans are telling but one fact is sure : their language is able to carry concepts and abstract informations and could even be more sophisticated - in the case of bottlenose dolphins - than any known human language.

Dauphins en captivité: la fermeture du Boudewijn Seapark de Bruges réclamée. Taiji Whale Museum On The Albino Dolphin Calf. Photo Credit: Satoshi Komiyama During my reporting last week on the fate and status of the albino calf (dubbed “Angel”) that was taken captive and shipped to the Taiji Whale Museum, I asked a local Japanese contact if she would relay a list of questions to the Whale Museum for me.
Intrepid person that she is, she managed to reach Assistant Director Tetsuya Kirihata. Somewhat to my surprise he provided pretty detailed responses (which were translated by my extremely helpful contact). For the record (and without comment), I am posting the Whale Museum’s responses here, as I haven’t seen any detailed updates on the calf, and its fate, from the Whale Museum itself. Q: What is the status of the albino calf? The Fate of Angel the Baby Albino Dolphin? By Ric O’Barry Director Dolphin Project Earth Island Institute Back in October 2006, I was present in Taiji with my video camera to record a capture of a pod of bottlenose dolphins for captivity. One of the dolphins had a very odd characteristic: It had four fins instead of two. It had the usual front flippers, but there were also two very small pectoral flippers towards its tail end, vestiges of the time in the past when dolphins had four legs. In a press release, I said about the capture: "This was one of the most violent dolphin captures that I have ever witnessed in my 45 years of working with dolphins.
SeaWorld : un dauphin fou mord une fillette. Dolphin to take part in Sochi Olympic torch relay. Dolphin to take part in Sochi Olympic torch relay A dolphin is to take part in the Sochi Olympics torch relay three days before the opening ceremony, a regional Russian sports minister said Thursday. An animal trainer is to hold a dolphin's fin in one hand and the torch in the other before the pair swims across a small pool in the Black Sea resort on February 4, said Krasnodar region official Lyudmila Chernova.
The maritime mammal will be chosen from three at Sochi's Sea Star dolphinarium, which opened in 2005 and currently houses dolphins named Mona, Lada and Basya. Ending Dolphin Captures at the Cove: Airlines Might Just Hold the Secret. If a dolphin were captured by Japanese fishermen and sold at great profit to a faraway amusement park, but no one was willing to fly the animal there, would the fishermen want to capture more dolphins? Probably not. That thinking has fueled a growing international effort to convince the world’s airlines and airfreight companies not to fly marine mammals captured from the wild to theme parks and aquariums.
Citing the severe stress placed on whales and dolphins from hours in the restricted confinement of air transport, many air-cargo carriers are joining a “green list” of airlines vowing not to fly wild-caught cetaceans (unless an animal is being moved for health, safety or conservation reasons). Many international activists believe that air transportation is the weakest link in a chain that sustains not only the infamous dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan, but also the international trafficking of all whales and dolphins for public display and profit. 10 bonnes raisons de ne pas se rendre dans un delphinarium.

Sea Shepherd part en guerre contre la chasse aux dauphins des îles Féroé. TRADITION. How One Family Went From SeaWorld Fans to Foes in a Single Show. (Video: Explicit language warning) Last Saturday, when Carlo De Leonibus and his wife took their daughter, Cat, to SeaWorld Orlando for her 11th birthday, they expected yet another exciting afternoon of whale and dolphin watching. SeaWorld was a regular destination for the Tampa-area family, and it had inspired young Cat to become a dolphin trainer when she grew up. But after what they witnessed at Whale and Dolphin Stadium, Cat’s career plans have changed, and her family will not be returning to SeaWorld.
The show was a sort of low-rent version of Cirque du Soleil starring dolphins, short-finned pilot whales (members of the dolphin family), and tropical birds. In the midst of the entertainment, one of the small whales leapt up onto the “slide-out” area, where it became beached and unable to move back into the pool. It was an ugly sight: The whale rocked and writhed, vainly trying to push itself back to the water.
The crowd was extremely furious. Oceans. Food, work, fun, adventure, sport and life – not many things can give us all those things in one. Every day the oceans give us the air we need to breathe; the weather to grow crops; water to support the smallest to the largest animals on earth and 80% of all species; vast ice flows to help regulate our climate; millions of jobs and a life-time of pleasure.

Biological DIY Greywater System (With No Reedbeds) Our criteria for building the greywater system for the tinyhouse was pretty simple: cheap, made from readily available materials, and effective. We also wanted to use the outputs to irrigate a grove of important fruit trees, as water is very precious here, especially in a dry year. After many, many hours of research on systems involving reed beds, infiltration trenches, fancy UV zappers and all the rest, we decided, on the advice of permaculture and greywater specialist Ross Mars, to keep it simple, and let the biology do the work. To summarise the approach (and Ross Mars’ general take of domestic greywater), we decided that the intermittent trickle of water coming from our bath and shower would be best dealt with in a living and dynamic system, rather than in a series of reed beds or trenches.
I should note here that our greywater output is coming from just our bath and shower, so it contains water, a little soap, and the inevitable bits that come off a human when they wash. Ocean Pollution 1. Reed Bed System & Composting Toilets. One of the characteristics that separates 21st century homo sapiens from the other species with which we share the planet is that we relentlessly take from the natural world but seldom give back. The flawed economic system by which we imagine we sustain our lives places a commercial value on the planet’s resources but not an ecological one.
It is almost a cliché now to say that when we throw our waste away, there actually is no away but only someone else’s door step or some other life form’s habitat. But raised awareness does not seem to have reduced our disposable habits. Our dilemma is that we must consume natural resources to live, yet these resources are finite and many are rapidly depleting. We have belatedly begun to re-cycle but far from enough. Les dauphins sont des personnes. Février 2012.
