Dolphins swimming together in the ocean with the title ‘Nature Spotlight White-beaked Dolphin’ also called “leumadair bàn-ghobach” in Gaelic.
Orange background with a dolphin’s dorsal fin coming out of water at the bottom. Text about White-beaked Dolphins: fast, social swimmers in pods of 5 to 50, sometimes hundreds or thousands. Found in cold North Atlantic waters near Scotland, but range may shift due to climate change. Threats include climate change, hunting, development, noise pollution, toxins, overfishing, and lack of protection.
Green background with bubbles and a small dolphin image. Conservation actions: designate it as a priority marine feature, integrate it into Marine Scotland’s strategy, implement biodiversity plans, support research, and promote dolphin conservation.
In honour of Global Dolphin Awareness Month, meet the White-beaked Dolphin! Championed by Ash Regan MSP & Whale and Dolphin Conservation, this acrobatic and social species faces many threats like climate change & noise pollution. Let’s protect Scotland’s precious marine wildlife!
