Hong Kong, Oct 3 (EFE/EPA).- Rare Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, also known as Chinese white dolphins or pink dolphins, are making a comeback in the waters of Hong Kong after ferry traffic has been halted due to border restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic. According to the World Wide Fund, (WWF), the population of Chinese white dolphins inhabiting the Pearl River Delta, including Hong Kong, is estimated to number around 2,500 individuals. In Hong Kong they face an increasing number of threats including habitat loss and degradation, prey depletion, underwater noise disturbance, vessel traffic as well as toxins and pollutants. As ferry traffic between Hong Kong and Macau has been temporarily suspended due to travelling restrictions brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, some dolphins have returned to their old feeding areas. Cetacean experts from the Pearl River proposed an emergency plan to give the dolphin population a chance to stabilise and recover that includes a protection of core areas critical for feeding, mating and socialising among other measures.
