What We Do

Conservation & Management

NOAA Fisheries is committed to protecting Clymene dolphins. Targeted management actions taken to secure protections for these dolphins include:

Overseeing marine mammal health and stranding response

Addressing ocean noise

Educating the public about Clymene dolphins and the threats they face

Clymene dolphins are found in the deep, tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean. They are the smallest dolphin in the genus Stenella, which also includes spinner dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins, pantropical spotted dolphins, and striped dolphins. Clymene dolphins are also known as "short-snouted spinner dolphins" because they often spin while jumping out of the water.

Evidence shows that human activities, including overfishing, oil spills, pollution, and climate change are altering ocean environment beyond their natural state over the last few decades. According to numerous scientific studies, marine species are declining in many places, which impacts on the marine ecosystems and may lead to undesirable consequences for the biodiversity. We need to manage the risks before pushing oceans to their limit.
