Our partners from ECOLOGIA HUMANA DO OCEANO from the Federal University of Espírito Santo in Brazil have been collaborating in government programs of the Brazilian Government for several weeks. At a legislative assembly of the State of Espírito Santo, they presented our joint research with fishing communities and dolphins, such as the La Plata Dolphin - Franciscana - Toninha. The knowledge and collaboration with traditional fishermen is important to reduce dolphin bycatch. During the presentations, the results on the impact of marine debris on dolphins were also presented and discussed. We are happy that our joint work is now also noticed by the Brazilian government and has influence on laws for the protection of endangered dolphin species.
