Ganges River Dolphin

Caption

Ganges River dolphins are sensitive to changes in salinity and water flows brought about by sea level rise. Through their habitat preferences and behavior, these freshwater dolphins can provide managers with a better understanding of the waterscape-level impacts of climate change and guide adaptive human responses.
