765.Maui Dolphin Conservation Area (4/5)
Two speedboats drove one after the other, and a bearded man sat in the co-pilot's seat and smoked, resting his legs on the side of the boat, letting the water splash from the bow fall on his feet, enjoying himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The driver, a middle-aged Caucasian woman with a big waist and a round waist, said dissatisfiedly: "Damn, where did that Chinese guy go? Why haven't you found a signal after looking for so long?"
The beard said lazily: "Don't worry, he can't run out of Jindao, I bet that he is not far from us, let's look for it." ā
The speedboat behind caught up, and a middle-aged man with a beard on top shouted, "Chris, is the signal detector still not responding? We've already circled the island!"
"Don't worry, keep looking, let's drive out, after all, this is a civilian tracker, and it's useless if it's too far away." ā
The woman who drove the boat said, "Could it be that the Chinese guy found the tracker? He may have thrown it away, so what should I do?"
Chris said confidently: "No way, who has nothing to do to disassemble the outboard to see what's going on inside? I'll put the tracker inside, and it won't be discovered." ā
The speedboat approached behind, and the middle-aged man above said, "Even if he doesn't find it this time, he'll realize it next time, right?" We can always find him, and he will definitely suspect something." ā
"Suspect we used a tracker?" Chris asked rhetorically, "No, no, no, this isn't a spy movie, who would have guessed that?"
"As long as he's not stupid, he'll guess something. The middle-aged man insisted.
Chris laughed, "But what if he's that stupid? Listen to me, man, these yellow people, especially Asians, are stupid, just like the Maori people in New Zealand." ā
"Yellow people are really stupid, Maori are yellow people. The middle-aged woman who sailed the boat agreed.
The middle-aged man was still puzzled: "But we haven't found them, don't you suspect something?"
"You're too suspicious, Raff, we just haven't found it yet. Chris said nonchalantly.
The middle-aged Raff said: "Okay, then let's continue to look for them, this time, we had better negotiate with him and see if we can cooperate." ā
"How can he cooperate with us, who will cooperate with others?" the middle-aged woman immediately retorted to his proposal.
Raff snorted and said, "Why do you have to follow them, let's go to the place where we found them yesterday." ā
"Didn't you go down to the sea yesterday to see that there weren't many black gold abalone there, and we had to chase them. Claessen said.
Raff said: "It's also possible that there are a lot of black gold abalones there, but we can't find them, so maybe the Chinese guys have some unique methods." ā
Hearing him say this, Chris retracted his legs and sat up and asked, "You mean, what instrument did he use?"
"It's also possible that he came from the United States, and maybe they invented something small instrument to search for some kind of creature underwater. ā
"Then we'll have to keep an eye on him, if that's the case, it would be interesting, we get him by the hand and let him work for us, or we'll call the police to get them!" Chris said expectantly.
The two speedboats extended their search and circled the island again.
Upon turning to the southwest corner of Golden Island, a flashing red dot suddenly appeared on Chris's speedboat screen, but the red dot only appeared briefly for a second before disappearing.
Seeing this, Chris and the woman driving the boat were excited, the two looked at each other, and Chris said, "Ha, I found him, he can't run away!"
The two fast-moving speedboats slowed down, and the middle-aged man behind caught up and asked, "Did you find anything going on?"
Chris said: "Yes, their ship must be around, I saw the scout's reaction just now, so I'll look for it here." ā
Their boat continued southwest, and the red dot reappeared.
Seeing this, Chris was refreshed, he looked around, and then saw a speedboat docked at the edge of the coast in the distance.
"Right there, how did this bastard get ashore? Go and see how he's doing. Chris commanded with a wave of his hand.
The middle-aged woman was about to speed up the boat, but Raff from behind chased them and intercepted them, frowning and saying, "That's not right, Chris, it shouldn't be here." ā
"Why?" asked Chris.
Raff said: "This is the Maui Dolphin Conservation Area, and lo and behold, there is a cordon of drifting balls in the water in front of you!"
The Maui dolphin is an endangered subspecies that is very rare and very rare.
They are the smallest dolphin species in the world, and even when they are adults, they are up to 1.7 meters long, making them the smallest dolphins in the world and are known as the "hobbits of the sea".
Due to the heavy nylon net fishing method of humans, the dolphin has been caught and killed in large numbers, and the existing population has plummeted, according to statistics, there are only 55 adult Maui dolphins, and there are not even 20 female Maui dolphins in the breeding season.
The dolphin is found only in the southern hemisphere, mostly in the shallow waters around New Zealand, but in recent years it has also been spotted in the shallow waters at the southwestern tip of King Island.
To this end, the Australian Department of Marine Affairs and the Bureau of Fishing and Game have set up a conservation area here to protect a few occasional Maui dolphins.
In addition, Australia and the New Zealand Government's Cetacean Scientific Committee hold an annual meeting on Maui dolphin conservation.
After their most recent meeting, they jointly released a report expressing "extreme concern" about the "critically endangered" status of Maui dolphins.
The report calls on the Australian and New Zealand governments to immediately impose a fishing ban in the waters of the Maui dolphin's conservation area, and to pay attention to the potential threat to the Maui dolphin from human activities such as seabed mining and seismic observations.
In addition, they have asked tourists, fishermen and other non-governmental personnel not to enter the reserve, so that they can use their strength to protect the dolphins.
In fact, from Australia's efforts to protect black gold abalone, you can know how strong they are to protect Maui dolphins, and there are still a lot of black gold abalone, large and small, tens of thousands of them.
What about Maui dolphins? There are probably fewer than five in the whole of Australia!
Listening to Raff's words, Chris reacted, he stood on the speedboat and glanced at his surroundings, frowned and muttered, "It's bad luck, it's really here, it's really Maui Dolphin Reserve." ā
"We can't go into the conservation area, and if the Chinese are inside, we can call the police, and the Fishing and Hunting Bureau and the Police Department will send them to jail," Raff said. ā
At this, he gloated.
Chris's mind spun rapidly, and then he slowly shook his head: "No, no, we don't call the police, what did I just say? Caught his handle, and now, his handle has appeared!"
