Victory for the Moray Firth dolphins!

 

 

 

 

Dear friend

Thanks to the incredible response of you, our supporters, the Navy did not conduct active sonar operations within Scotland’s Moray Firth. They had planned to expand the huge military exercise Joint Warrior from the west coast of Scotland to the Moray Firth, home to our adoption dolphins.

With your support we worked hard to persuade them not to do this - and we stopped them. This is an incredible success! Thank you to all of you who sent your protests and enabled us to achieve this victory. To read more please However, while we have achieved a victory for the dolphins of the Moray Firth, Australian whales and dolphins have been facing another grave danger. The WDCS team, together with campaigners across Australia, have been fighting an ecological catastrophe - the Timor Sea oil spill. Up to 2000 barrels of oil a day leaked from an offshore oil rig for more than 10 weeks. On November 3rd the spill was finally capped but we are extremely concerned that the ecological impact of millions of litres of oil spilled into these tropical waters is likely to persist for years to come, with direct health consequences for whales and dolphins. Add your voice to our protest to prevent this ever happening again. Send an e-protest to the Australian Government about our fight to prevent this disaster from happening again. With our very best wishes Sarah DolmanWDCS Head of Policy for Scotland.
