Chapter 766 765. Maui Dolphin Conservation Area (45)

Two speedboats were driving one after the other on the sea, and a bearded man was sitting in the co-pilot's seat smoking a cigarette. He put his legs on the side of the boat and let the seawater splashed by the bow fall on his feet, enjoying it .

The driver was a middle-aged caucasian woman with big arms and round waist. She said dissatisfiedly: "Damn, where did that Chinese guy go? Why haven't I found a signal after searching for so long?"

The bearded man said lazily, "Don't worry, he won't be able to get out of Jindao. I bet he's not far from us. Let's look for him."

The speedboat behind caught up, and a middle-aged man who almost looked like a beard shouted: "Chris, is the signal detector still not responding? We have already searched around the island!"

The bearded Chris said: "Don't worry, keep looking, let's drive out, after all, this is a civilian tracker, and it will be useless if it goes too far."

Said the woman who was driving the boat, "Could it be that the Chinaman found the tracker? He might have thrown it away, so what?"

Chris said confidently: "Impossible, who is free to disassemble the outboard to see what's inside? I put the tracker inside and it won't be found."

The speedboat approached from behind, and the middle-aged man on it said: "Even if he didn't find it this time, he will realize it next time, right? We can always find him, so he must have suspected something."

"Suspect we used a tracker?" Chris asked back, "No, no, this is not a spy movie, who would guess that?"

"As long as he's not stupid, he'll guess something." The middle-aged man insisted.

Chris laughed: "But what if he's so stupid? Listen to me, man, these yellow people, especially Asians, are stupid, just like those Maori in New Zealand."

"Yellow people are indeed stupid, and Maori are yellow people." The middle-aged woman who drove the boat agreed.

The middle-aged man is still wondering: "But we haven't found them, don't you suspect something?"

"You are too suspicious, Raff, we just haven't found it yet." Chris said casually.

The middle-aged man said, "Okay, then let's continue to search for them. If we find them this time, we'd better negotiate with him and see if we can cooperate."

"Why would he cooperate with us? Who would cooperate with others?" The middle-aged woman immediately refuted his proposal.

Raff snorted and said, "Why do you have to follow them? Let's just go to the place where we found them yesterday."

"Didn't you go to the sea yesterday to see it? There aren't many black gold abalones there. We have to chase them," Clarkson said.

Raff said: "It's also possible that there are a lot of black gold abalones there, but we can't find them. The Chinese may have some unique means."

Hearing what he said, Chris retracted his legs and sat up and asked, "You mean, what equipment did he use?"

"It's also possible that he came from the United States. Maybe they invented some small instrument for searching for some kind of creature underwater."

"Then we have to keep an eye on him. If this is the case, it will be interesting. We will catch him and let him work for us, otherwise we will call the police to deal with them!" Chris said expectantly.

The two speedboats expanded their search range and circled the island again.

When turning to the southwest corner of Jin Island, a flashing red dot suddenly appeared on the screen of Chris's speedboat, but the red dot only appeared for a second, and then disappeared.

Seeing this, Chris and the woman who drove the boat were excited. They looked at each other, and Chris said: "Ha, I found him, he can't escape!"

The two fast-moving speedboats slowed down, and the middle-aged man behind them caught up and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Chris said: "Yes, their ship must be nearby. I saw the scout responding just now, so I will look for it here."

Their boat continued southwest, and the red dot reappeared.

Seeing this, Chris was refreshed. He looked around and saw a speedboat docked on the edge of the coast in the distance.

"It's right there, why did this bastard land? Go and see his situation." Chris waved his hand and ordered.

The middle-aged woman was about to speed up the boat, but Raff chased after them and stopped them. He frowned and said, "This is wrong, Chris, it shouldn't be here."

"Why?" Chris asked.

Raff said: "This is the Maui Dolphin Conservation Area. Look, there is a cordon of drifting balls in the water ahead!"

The Maui dolphin is an endangered subspecies that is very valuable and very rare.

They are the smallest dolphin species in the world. Even adults, the body length is at most 1.7 meters. They are the smallest dolphins in the world. They are called "Hobbits in the Sea".

Due to human fishing methods with heavy nylon nets, a large number of these dolphins were caught and died, and the number of existing Maui dolphins dropped sharply. According to statistics, there are only 55 adult Maui dolphins left, and there are not even 20 female Maui dolphins in the breeding period. .

This dolphin only exists in the southern hemisphere, mostly in the shallow waters around New Zealand, but in recent years it has also been found in the shallow waters off the southwestern tip of King Island.

To this end, the Australian Department of Oceans and the Bureau of Fish and Game have set up a conservation area here to protect a few Maui dolphins that occasionally appear.

More than that, Australia and the Cetacean Science Committee under the New Zealand government hold an annual meeting on the protection of Maui dolphins every year.

After their most recent meeting, they jointly released a report expressing "extreme concern" about the "critically endangered" status of Maui's dolphins.

The report requires the governments of Australia and New Zealand to immediately implement a fishing ban in the Maui dolphin conservation area, and pay attention to the potential threats to Maui dolphins from human activities such as seabed mining and seismic observation.

Moreover, they also asked non-government personnel such as tourists and fishermen not to enter the conservation area, so as to protect the dolphins with all their strength.

In fact, we can know how much they protect the Maui dolphins from Australia's efforts to protect the black gold abalone. There are still many black gold abalones, large and small, tens of thousands are no problem.

What about the Maui dolphins? There may be less than five in the whole of Australia!

Hearing Raff's words, Chris came to his senses. Standing on the speedboat, he glanced at the surrounding environment, frowned and muttered, "What a pity, it's really here, it's really the Maui Dolphin Conservation Area."

Raff said: "We can't enter the conservation area. If the Chinese guy is inside, we can call the police. The Fish and Game Bureau and the police station will send them to jail."

Having said that, he gloated and laughed.

Chris's mind turned quickly, and then slowly shook his head: "No, no, we are not calling the police, what did I just say? I got his handle, and now, his handle has appeared!"
