A dolphin flock of 17 dolphins, including two pups, has been observed and documented amidst the waves in the Ashkelon coast. Inspectors from the Israel Nature and Parks Authority's marine birding group, along with Yoav Perlman of the Israeli Birding Center, accompanied the band and documented it near the Israeli coast.

Guy Levian, superintendent of the Marine and Parks Authority's marine unit: "This is a well-known band, which is often observed west of a secure marine reserve. The dolphin is an endangered species. Israel's beaches have been defined by the IUCN as important to the dolphin and to the dolphin found."

Levian added that "the dolphin is endangered in the Mediterranean, and therefore it is very fascinating to watch. The local population of our region has about 30 to 40 details, which are often seen between the coasts of Ashdod and Ashkelon."

As published today in Israel, in 2017, the International Association for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources declared Israel's beaches as an important area for dolphins. The association is the most important global authority in the field, and is recognized mainly for the preparation of "red lists" - endangered species lists. In Israel, two species of dolphins live regularly near the coast, the dolphin and the dolphin.
In the current situation, many of the species of marine mammals off the coast of Israel are seriously endangered. In general, there is a paucity of qualitative information regarding marine mammal activity: The information that already exists in Israel is thanks to a long-standing study by the Ma'alim Researchers Association and the Maurice Kahn Marine Research Station of the University of Haifa. The Mimli began collecting data on Vietnamese data in 1993 in the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Eilat. Over 700 over 200 surveys have been conducted over the years, covering more than 22,000 km.
