In this interview, Ric O’ Barry discusses his recent work with dolphins. Last year he helped end the dolphin slaughter in the Solomon islands. The Solomon Islands learned how unsustainable their practice of slaughtering wild dolphins was and Earth Island offered to teach a sustainable fishing alternative. Another great accomplishment is Indonesia’s pledge to end the capture and sale of dolphins. Currently Ric O’ Barry and his team are working on a project called deprogramming. This is a process of introducing dolphins back into the ocean after being in captivity using a natural sea pen. This interview is informative on the accomplishments made and the future goals of the Save Japan Dolphins campaign.

EcoJoia is a proud partner of Earth Island Institute and Ric O’ Barry’s Save Japan Dolphin campaign.
