Jul 23, 2021 Bottlenose Dolphin Killed in Corozal The Ministry of Blue Economy is condemning the killing of a bottlenose dolphin sometime last week in northern Belize.  A press release from the Department of Fisheries laments the death of this species, which is protected in Belize. It says, “Bottlenose dolphins are highly intelligent and social marine mammals. We denounce the senseless killing of the animal and lament the loss of this valuable animal as its species is a contributor to Belize’s biodiversity and has high ecological importance.”  A resident found the dead dolphin floating in the Progresso-Little Belize Lagoon.  The Sarteneja Alliance for Conservation and Development says that the scene suggests the dolphin was killed sometime around the seventeenth of this month. Today, we spoke with Leomir Santoya about what they’ve discovered about the dead dolphin.
