Russia's invasion of Ukraine has come with a high human toll, but scientists say an entire marine ecosystem in the Black Sea is also at risk.
Scientists and conservation groups say dolphins in the Black Sea are dying at an alarming rate as Russian warships and submarines are creating constant noise pollution that's proving deadly to the marine mammals.
Ivan Rusev, an environmental scientist at Ukraine's Tuzly Estuaries National Nature Park, told the news outlet that at minimum 5,000 dolphins have perished in the sea between March and July. He said that's three times more than figures from before the conflict and an entire ecosystem is now at risk. A report indicates that 5,000 dolphins in the Black Sea have died over the last four months as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Turkish Marine Research Foundation in March reported an"extraordinary increase" in the deaths of common dolphins in the western Black Sea coasts of Turkey. The conservation group found that since February, 80 of the dolphins had washed ashore on beaches.
