Protecting Chinese white dolphins has always been a family event for Pan Yue. For almost twenty years, Pan, her husband, and her father have taken nearly 5 million photographs to document and study the population of rare Chinese white dolphins in Sanniang Bay, Qinzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
After graduating from Peking University in Beijing, Pan Yue moved to Qinzhou with her father in 2005 to research and protect white dolphins. “Our understanding of white dolphins is based on years of observation,” she said.
Along the shores of Sanniang Bay live villagers who have depended on fishing for generations. Twenty years ago, villagers told Pan Yue’s father, Pan Wenshi that there was a white dolphin in Sanniang Bay. Guided by the villagers, Pan Wenshi saw the white dolphins there. It was this that led him and his family to move to the area in 2005 to begin efforts to protect white dolphins.
“That year, my father saw an injured young dolphin. When he later discovered the dolphin had survived the ordeal(磨难), he named it Qinqin,” Pan Yue said. To Pan Yue’s surprise, Qinqin not only survived but also gave birth to three baby white dolphins over the next twenty years. When Pan Yue and her husband Zhao Yi go out to sea, Qinqin and her family members often play happily around their boat.
