Bali North News update

Dolphin trapped in Jembrana rescued by 4ocean after becoming entangled in fishing line has been saved by ocean clean-up crews working in the seas off Bali. Team members from 4Ocean spotted a floating patch of debris in the Pebuahan Ocean off the coast of Jembrana province while clearing trash.

Dolphin trapped in Jembrana rescued by 4ocean after becoming entangled in fishing line has been saved by ocean clean-up crews working in the seas off Bali.

‘This dolphin was very lucky to be saved by this amazing crew, but sadly over 1 million marine animals per year are not saved and instead they are killed by various forms of plastic pollution exactly like this,’ they wrote alongside the video.We humans must do better before its too late because plastic NEVER disintegrates so any one piece can injure/kill multiple animals. Social media users praised the actions of the rescue team, with many agreeing that more needs to be done to protect wildlife.

Such a tragedy, we all must do better for our wildlife/environment!’ one person wrote.

Another added: ‘Poor dolphin, we humans must do better before its too late, our plastic crisis is getting worse by the day.’

‘We have to take care of nature,’ a third said.
