Project description
The Chinese White Dolphin (Sousa chinensis) also called the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, is found from northern Australia and southeastern China in the east, throughout shallow, coastal waters of the western Pacific and the Indian oceans to South Africa. Two subspecies occur, of which S.c.chinensis occurs in East Asia ÔÇô Australasia. The species is Near-threatened globally, and the IUCN Red List notes that ÔÇ£the species as a whole comes close to qualifying for Vulnerable based on criterion A4cd, where subcriterion d (actual or potential levels of exploitation) is interpreted to include by catch. However, it is likely that the threatened status will increase in the near future given the enormity and intensity of pressure on the limited coastal habitats.
