8. Environmental problems also add to the decline in the dolphin population. In China, the waters are heavily polluted with toxins used in the production of plastics. These chemicals lodge in the dolphins' body fat and are passed to baby dolphins in their mother's milk. The dolphins are filled with so much toxic, disgusting waste; their bodies are not able to fight off all of the toxins on their own. They lose the fight to survive. Parsons, a marine biologist, says, "At the rate these dolphins are dying, they will be extinct within another 5 years." This is just one example of what is occurring in the ocean because of pollution. If we would combine all the incidents occurring all over the globe, pollution alone would be a major threat to the dolphin society. People need to be more aware, speak up, and stop the pollution before dolphins become extinct.
