Known as the "giant panda of the sea," the Chinese white dolphin is an endangered species under first-class national protection in China, and a health indicator of marine ecosystem.

In Xiamen, southeast China's Fujian Province, measures including speed limits for vessels, a 3D monitoring system and cross-regional cooperation have helped reduce the impact of human activities on the Chinese white dolphins. More than 1,000 volunteers have also taken part in beach cleanups, community awareness campaigns and dolphin rescue efforts.
