"Tragically, spinner dolphins between Hawaii, Mexico, and Peru are
frequently killed in the yellow-fin tuna fishery's purse-seine nets. Tuna swim
underneath dolphins in those waters, so fishermen purposefully catch
dolphins so as to catch the tuna underneath. Over the past 40 years, 6 - 8 million
dolphins have died in these nets. This has had a devastating effect on spinner
dolphins — some populations have been reduced by over 85% from their
pre-exploitation levels."
