3. Dolphin Movement
Dolphins chase fish, get their sense of direction, and maneuver the ocean through echolocation. Basically, like bats, they send out waves that bounce back and help them navigate, locate prey, and avoid obstacles. They can even use this to locate fish hiding in the sand.

dolphins to always help
others and never do wrong
again.

14. Kids Help Save Dolphins
The Kids Organization Against the Extinction of Dolphins (KOAED) in the United Kingdom works with kids from ages 11-18, fighting against the extinction of this very loved marine mammal. They have held community meetings and have made it illegal in that one part of the U.K. to even have a drift net. Wishing the United States was like that, children in different states have organized groups as well.
