ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2023 Submission - Fine Art Category

We were in a boat far off the coast of Sri Lanka looking for dolphins. Suddenly hundreds appeared. They were jumping, splashing, teasing and playing. Boundless Splashing Spontaneity! Though the total bottlenose dolphin in the world is not endangered, many populations face serious threats. They are very sensitive to climate change, are often injured by human activity and many fishing methods. Overfishing is also depleting their food sources, and they are very sensitive to pollution.
