Our partners from ECOLOGIA HUMANA DO OCEANO at the Federal University of Espírito Santo in Brazil have been working on government programs for 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. Knowledge and collaboration with traditional fishermen is important to reduce dolphin bycatch. In the lectures, the results on the impact of marine litter on dolphins were also presented and discussed. We are delighted that our joint work is now also being recognized by the Brazilian government and is having an impact on laws to protect endangered dolphin species.
