Captive Indo-pacific humpback dolphins, Singapore. Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins living in some of the busiest waters in the world – those in Hong Kong – are thought to be some of the most heavily impacted coastal dolphins globally. Shipping, habitat degradation (through multiple land reclamation projects) and pollution are thought to be taking a toll and the population numbers continue to fall year on year. In some years no calves have been known to survive, likely due to the pollutant off-load by the mother through her milk. Photo: Paul Hilton
