At the recent studies shown there appears to be a small community of atlantic humpback and its probably less than 1,500 breeding …show more content…

So therefore they should have been watched closely but they didn't seem to care and just went to something else and moved on.

If they would have kept track of what was going on then they wouldn't have the problem they are having to day with the humpback dolphin or even any other population of species on the planet, they should have to check up and see how all the populations are doing. Not just the ones that are endangered, they spend way too much time on the species that are extinct 8if they took that time they spend on the extent and put it into other species then they could prevent species going extinct. The species that are extinct are gone they aren't coming back but the endangered populations can because there still here and
