Saving the critically endangered Chinese white dolphin in Taiwan: Debate regarding the designation of an MPA
The Chinese white dolphin is one of the marine mammals that can be frequently sighted in the coastal waters of western Taiwan. The subpopulation of this species in Taiwan is categorized as critically endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Thus, the designation of its habitat as a marine protected area (MPA) should be conducted to protect it from extinction. However, the proposed MPA covers the coastal waters of several counties, where it also overlaps with fishing grounds and a proposed offshore reclamation island for an industrial park. The designation will affect the original marine use and presents a major conflict among multiple stakeholders. This study is a qualitative study that employs semi-structured interviews with stakeholders from competing interests, including local fisheries, industrial developers, the government, academia, and the conservation sector, in order to explore their perspectives and responses regarding the designation of an MPA and the causes of the conflicts among stakeholders. The results showed that the rationale for opposing the establishment of the MPA is the insufficient amount of scientific information and statistical data for determining the appropriate site and size of the MPA. This also makes it difficult to implement any corresponding mitigation measures. With regard to fisheries, the center of the conflict is that the Chinese white dolphin competes for the same fishery resources with fishermen. Compensation for the loss of fishery resources seems costly. Results from this study will help to inform the design of the MPA for the conservation of Chinese white dolphin in Taiwan and to minimize the conflicts between different stakeholders.
The white dolphin recently got extinct also known as baiji was declared to be one of the most endangered species identified on earth. But humans never bothered the threat.
There were many reasons identified for the extinction but the main one being nest getting dolphin as bycatch. Other major reason is the habitat destruction.
Both being associated with humans activities
.
Like all the other endangered species, we need to take care of dolphins to keep these precious species alive. We need to take care that our activities are not only harmless for other humans but also for any living being
We should not only save dolphins but other animals or birds too. Because Don't forget that we are from 1 planet and we should be together we should make them pet and give them love but its hard to save dolphin some people make circus for dolphins but dolphins feel like they are trapped
