🐟 #sardines#dolphin#commondolphin#bottlenosedolphin What can attract 18,000 dolphins to the same location? How about South Africa's sardine run. The bad thing is that the sardine run has been getting smaller. The current biomass estimate for the run is 1/4 of the sardine run in 2002.

How South Africa's sardine run is changing

South Africa's sardine run is a spectacle to behold as thousands of predators feast on sardine mega-shoals – but climate change and over fishing are putting it at risk.

I overdid this one and I think it lost some charm, but I really like those salema, I think they're cute af. That's Xenistius californiensis not Sarpa salpa btw. Grunt not Porgie. #illustration#marinelife#california#commondolphin#fish#ocean#art#pacificcoast#arttag#nature
