1. Hong Kong Pink Dolphins
By Arpit Panjabi

2. What is happening to them?
Pink Dolphins are a endangered species around the world. Even here in Hong Kong Pink Dolphins are endangered due to boat pollution, sea trash and over fishing.

3. Boat traffic
Due to the ocean separating parts of Hong Kong there is a vast majority of boats sailing across the harbour all the time.
This is called boat traffic.

4. How do they get affected
Dolphins could easily come in the way of these boats or get hit by a passing propeller causing deep cuts in the dolphins skin.

5. Pollution
Pollution can easily kill pink dolphins. Most people in Hong Kong throw their trash in the sea so as a result dolphins think its food swallow it and will eventually die.

6. Habitat Loss
As you all should know most of modern Hong Kong is on reclaimed land making ocean space in Hong Kong smaller.
As a result of the loss of ocean dolphins are quickly losing their habitat (home) to shopping malls and offices.

7. Conclusion
Hong Kong is losing its pink dolphin population quickly. We need to do something to clean up the oceans and welcome back our dolphin population.

8. What can be done?
In Hong Kong if your lucky at times you will see little boats netting ( catching ) plastic bottles from the ocean along with candy wrappers. More of these and our dolphin population might come back.

9. What should the government do?
The government should cut down on excessive reclamation. Also the amount of boats in the ocean at a time should be cut down on.
