Dolphin Protection Bill

The Dolphin Protection Bill, primarily aimed at safeguarding dolphins during tuna fishing, was introduced to ensure that fishing practices do not harm these marine mammals. It requires that tuna caught in nets should not be associated with dolphin deaths or injuries. The bill set standards for labeling tuna products, allowing consumers to choose items that are caught with methods that protect dolphins. Overall, the legislation reflects a commitment to marine conservation and ethical fishing practices, promoting sustainability and protecting wildlife in our oceans.
