Hi! I'm a student at UCSC and going to be using this account to research animals and write about my findings. #39canimals

Heres my infographic talking about ocean pollution and its effects on marine life, including dolphins. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

This is true! The pollution in the oceans is horrible and needs attention to be brought to it! #39canimals

The facts of sea pollution is very serious. Everyone should notice that.

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Captivity is no place for animals, mostly ones of this scale and with this behavior. #39canimals

[Joelene Velasco @JoeleneVelasco]

In the wild, killer whales are rarely aggressive towards each other, but captive killer whales are different. A whale in SeaWorld San Diego even died after attacking another whale. In the attack, she severed her own artery and spewed blood from her blowhole #39canimals

In order to make a difference, you have to spread accurate information. Make sure that you are infromed about the issues with dolphins in captivity starting with this webpage here posted from the dolphin project. #39caminals https://t.co/JSrV2lzX1r

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Some people dont realize that there is an issue with dolphins being in captivity. If we are to spread awareness of this issue, more people will be able to stand up. Heres a place to start: https://t.co/RCzJiAXc6x

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Dolphins should not be in captivity! Start by signing petitions and pledging not to buy a ticket to a dolpin show. Heres somewhere you can start. #39camials https://t.co/4HWd29PZqn

One solution to the problem of noise pollution coming from offshore wind farms is to create a bubble curtain before the open ocean. This can reduce the noise by up to 95%! #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

This may not be a solution, but if ships were able to avoid densely populated areas of marine life then they would not be disrupting as many lives as they go through the ocean. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

If we are able to redesign the way that vessels are made so that the noise they give off doesn't effect ocean life it would make a huge difference. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

The ocean clean up gives regular updates on their social media accounts regularly so that you are able to easily keep up to date with their progress. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

This is just the beginning to what needs to be done for our oceans. There is so much trash in our oceans that must be removed. #39canimals

[The Ocean Cleanup @TheOceanCleanup]

BREAKING: more than 100,000kg of plastic removed from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP).

Thank you to our determined offshore crew and supporters worldwide; together, we have now officially cleaned up 1/1000th of the GPGP.

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

The ocean clean up is an organization that is focused on getting the trash out of our oceans. They have created systems in order to do this efficiently. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Not only is the dolphin project an advocate for getting dolphins out of captivity, but they also are improving the lives of dolphins by doing things like getting them needed teeth. Read this blog to see more. #39canimals https://t.co/wJOx7w9ppe

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

You can be a part in helping dolphins. Check out this tweet from the Dolphin Project to get an idea of what you are able to do. #39canimals.

[Wild Dolphin Project @dolphinproject]

#GivingTuesday is almost here. Choose one of these 4 ways to support our long-term research of dolphins in the wild: Give the gift of membership, Give your voice by sharing our mission, Give a share of your favorite WDP research trip memory, Give monthly with recurring giving

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

The Dolphin Project is an organization focused on helping dolphins and their wellbeing. For years they have been advocating for dolphins and spreading the word of how horrible captivity is for dolphins. You can help by pledging to not buy a ticket for a dolphin show #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Dolphins in captivity have shorter lifespans due to the stress and depression that comes with the lack of freedom they have within their aquarium. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Animals come washed up to shore with their stomachs full of trash. You can read more about it in this article. https://t.co/ORCLLHhOkb. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Luckily, Dolphins are usually smart enough to not eat the plastic that they come across in the ocean, but they still eat other animals who have ingested plastics. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Communication is essential for dolphins and other marine creatures. The noise pollution that humans make in the ocean is deafening to these animals and making them unable to preform this task successfully that is essential to their living. #39canimals

[Jana Schmidt @janaschmidtt]

Dolphins (as well as other marine animals) are eating trash in the ocean making them feel full. This prevents them from eating the food that they need meaning they will die from being malnourished and starved. #39canimals
