Dolphin Found Entangled in Plastic off the Coast of Malta

Distressed Dolphin Found Entangled in Plastic off Malta A group of Maltese locals recently made a distressing discovery during a recreational boating trip. While enjoying their time at sea, Saul, Seb, and Alex encountered a dolphin struggling with plastic tightly wrapped around its tail. "We tried to jump in and cut it off, but we couldn't manage," Saul recounted in an email. "It's quite upsetting, and we've been trying to raise awareness." The incident occurred near Malta, highlighting the growing problem of marine pollution in the area. The video, filmed during an outing with Big Game Adventures, shows the dolphin's struggle and the plastic restricting its movement. A spokesperson for Big Game Adventures confirmed the sighting and urged the public to report similar incidents to environmental authorities. This incident underscores the urgent need for continued efforts to combat marine pollution and protect marine wildlife. The hope is that this footage will serve as a wake-up call, prompting action to prevent future occurrences.
