The İstanbul and Çanakkale Straits, along with the Sea of Marmara, face challenges in the form of pollution and excessive fishing, endangering the delicate existence of dolphins.

Five dolphins died earlier in the center and it is now revealed that two surviving dolphins were secretly transferred to another dolphin park in Antalya.

Dolphins have been getting caught in fishing nets, NGOs have said, calling on the authorities to increase inspections.

Since an academic recommended hunting dolphins in the face of declining fish populations in Turkey's waters, biologists and environmentalists have been stressing that human activities are responsible for the drop in fish stocks, not dolphins.
