2 dead Chinese white dolphins wash up on Hong Kong’s Lantau Island; 31 such cases this year

A spokesman for the foundation said the couple were discovered in close proximity to each other.

The adult dolphin, which was about 2.4 meters long, was severely decomposed.

Last month, the foundation also received a report of a dead young dolphin found off the southwest coast of Lantau Island.

The group urged the public to report any suspected stranded whales, sharks or other marine life to the hotline 1823, providing details of the time and location of the discovery and photographs.

Residents were also asked not to throw garbage into the water during marine activities and to refrain from using shampoo and shower gel on boats as untreated chemicals could directly pollute the marine environment.
