Petition: Protect Mimmo the Dolphin in Venice Lagoon

A lone bottlenose dolphin known as Mimmo is now living in the Venice lagoon in Italy. The playful dolphin has been seen leaping from the water and appears healthy, with researchers believing it has adapted well to life in the lagoon. But heavy boat traffic and curious tourists could put the animal at risk. Sign the petition now to help protect Mimmo and ensure stronger safeguards for wildlife.

Scientists and animal advocates warn that boats pose the biggest danger. Propellers and collisions could seriously injure the dolphin, while people trying to approach too closely may cause stress. Researchers, including dolphin expert Giovanni Bearzi, say humans must respect wildlife and their habitats. Advocates are urging Italian and Venetian authorities to introduce boat speed limits and clear rules preventing boats from approaching the dolphin. Sign the petition now to demand stronger protections for Mimmo. Sign the petition now.
