Threats to wild dolphin populations are increasing.
These threats include loss of habitat due to coastal development, separation of individuals from social groups due to boat traffic and other stressors, exposure to pollutants which cause disease and reproductive failure, vessel strikes, entanglement in debris, noise and pollution related to oil and gas development, direct and indirect interactions with recreational and commercial fisheries such as entanglement and bycatch or ingestion of hooks, and injury, mortality, or behavior modification such as boat-following or begging that may result from direct human interactions such as the feeding of wild dolphins.
