Irrawaddy Dolphins Spotted In Coastal Waters Of Negros Occidental
Irrawaddy dolphins were spotted in the coastal waters of Bago City, Negros Occidental, according to a research leader of the University of St. La Salle.
Around 10 am on Thursday (May 11, 2018), about two Irrawaddy dolphin calves have been spotted in Bago City, Negros Occidental.
Mark de la Paz, leader of the University of St. La Salle Center for Research and Engagement team who were studying the dolphins also sighted a pregnant Irawaddy dolphin in the area.
De la Paz said that the sightings of Irrawaddy dolphin in the area gives them hope that their very small population could grow a little bit.
“This brings a glimmer of hope to their very small population, which was estimated to be between 9 to 19 in the Guimaras Strait,” De la Paz quoted by Inquirer.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature declared Irrawaddy dolphins are among the endangered species.
The researcher is hoping that the few numbers of the endangered species could survive because they are the most vulnerable sea creatures.
