Conservation
The only conservation efforts in place right now for them cover all types of dolphins. They including trying to get fishing nets that aren’t a danger to these animals. They also include trying to reduce pollution of the waters where these creatures live. When they swallow toxins they can die. Even simply things such as plastic bags can kill them.
Human interaction
There is less known about the Clymene dolphins than any other species. They aren’t believed to have had very much interaction with humans other than when they are following boats on the water. Since they live so deep in the water it is hard to really observe their behaviors or to get a good count of how many of them exist.
In Venezuela they are often hunted so that they don’t consume the fish that commercial fishermen want. They are also used as bait to capture the tuna from these same waters. At this time there aren’t any Clymene dolphins in captivity.
