DOLPHIN ARC
DOLPHINS are a much loved aquatic mammal. There are 40 species named as dolphins that range in size from 5’7” to 31’. They have aerodynamic bodies and two limbs that are widely known as flippers. The most common and familiar species of dolphin is the bottlenose dolphin. A group of dolphins are called a school or pod, male dolphins are called bulls, females are called cows and their young are called calves.
A DADDY LONGLEGS: Dolphins are visualized throughout history; they symbolize peace and harmony, freedom, intuition and a profound connection with the mysteries of the ocean. In Greek Mythology the dolphin is associated with many gods, and goddesses; the sea god Poseidon placed the dolphin Delphin in the sky as the constellation Delphinus for his service finding his nymphe Amphitrite. Later, Amphitrite became Poseidon’s wife, the goddess-queen of the sea and the goddess of dolphins personifying their moaning. The dolphin is also the totem animal of both Apollo and Orpheus representing the symbol of the link between the heights of Olympus and and the depths of Hades.
ARC in mathematics is a curve joining two endpoints; a continuous portion of a circle. An emblem for life and growth.
In Today’s Spinnerette.Anagram, I wanted to cluster together information on the preservation of Marine Life, some of the companies behind the protection of our fragile oceans, as well as, the Marine BioTechnology companies researching and developing innovations in medicine for our sustainable footprint.
Some of the many non-profit companies advocating ocean preservation are:

Threats to Marine Life include:
Dolphin Drive Hunting a method of hunting that drive dolphins together with boats and nets closing off their route to the open sea. Several places around the world utilize this hunting method for their meat or for a dolphinarium which is an aquarium for dolphins used for research or in some cases dolphins are kept to preform for the public as an attraction. ByCatch according to www.fisheries.noaa.gov is when fishermen sometimes catch and discard animals they do not want, cannot sell, or are not allowed to catch that sometimes get hooked or entangled in fishing gear. Habitat Loss is when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. Marine Pollution according to www.nationalgeographic.org is a combination of chemicals and trash, most of which comes from land sources and is washed or blown into the ocean. This pollution results in damage to the environment, to the health of all organisms, and to the economic structures worldwide.
