Dangles the Dolphin Information Page

Hi everybody my name is Dangles the dolphin and I live in the Jervis Bay Marine Park which is located at Huskisson , New South Wales , Australia.
Id like you to meet some of my friends and let us tell you about ourselves and where we live.
Jervis Bay was delcared a marine Park and National Park in 1998 this was a very good thing as now my friends and I are protected from some of the dangers we used to have

Question? What Dangers would the Marine animals have encounterd before their home was declared a Marine Park ?

Jervis Bay has the whitest  sand in the world and this is all because of the sea grasses that grow on the bottom of the bay.
The sea grass also helps to keep the water clean, and make good breeding grounds for the inhabitants of the bay.
Jervis Bay is a nice place for me to live because the waters are warm and there is plenty of food to eat.
Dolphins are mammals and come in different colours just like you. Some of us are grey , pink, white or maybe black.
My cousin the pink dolphin is endangered so we are trying to be very careful.
People think that sharks are our biggest danger but unfortunately it is humans that are our worst enemy.

We can get caught in fishermans nets , eat rubbish that is thrown into the sea like plastic bags and bottles, some spear fisherman chase us and you pollute our water.
We know you don't mean to do some of these things and are happy the children of today are teaching their parents about the environment

Question ? How can we help Dangles and his friends ?

When my mum has a Baby we are called calves she looks after us until we are old enough to look after our selves just like your mum does . If there is some danger around mum will protect us.
We love to play jumping out of the water , chasing and splashing.
When the Baywatch boat comes out on the bay we all chase it and have races with them.
I am the dolphin that always jumps out of the water. I can jump very high and swim very fast

 Question ? What  games do dolphins like to play ?

 
 This is My friend Winifred the Whale , she is a humpback whale and she visits me in  Jervis Bay between June and  November each year . We have a great time playing while she is here. She doesnt stay long as her family mirgrate north for the winter and she comes back in September to show us her new calf.

Question ? Why do Whales migrate and were do they go?

 
 
 Some more freinds of ours are Franchesca & Dingles who traveled all the way from England to visit my friends and me in Jervis Bay. Franchesca & Dingles have travelled the world with some teachers from England making  sure they behave. They were really surprised when I splashed them. We all had a good laugh and sang a song. "Dingles, Dangles & Franchesca all went to Dolphin Explorer Cruises just to see dangles home below the sea." We hope they come to vist again soon.
