Culture Chinese White Dolphin Returned to Sea

An injured Chinese white dolphin, which was captured by accident in east China's Fujian Province, has been given medical treatment and returned to the sea.

The 200-kg dolphin was found injured in a fishing net by local fishermen at Xinghua Bay on December 15. The near-extinct Chinese white dolphin is under top State-level protection. They can be found in the east and south China sea areas.

The fishermen sent the dolphin back to the port, where it was treated for wounds and then released back to the ocean.

Water pollution and illegal fishing have reduced the total population of Chinese white dolphins to only about 200.
