Description

Seeing and hearing the stories of animals like Helen is a great way to make our impacts on the oceans feel real.  She was found entangled in a fishing net, and as a result, lost part of her pectoral fins and had to undergo a lengthy rehabilitation process, after which she was deemed non-releasable.  Her and another rescued Pacific White-Sided Dolphin named Hana now live at the Vancouver Aquarium, where they are participating in research to help prevent the deaths of over 1000 marine mammals in fishing nets each DAY (called "bycatch").

great photo and amazing story. Some people ar ejust so full of it that they don't realize that some of these animals will not survive after being rescued unless they live in captivity, they need to keep their mouths shut!
