In the maritime water of Bangladesh, the rare freshwater dolphin. The constant noise of vessel traffic might inhibit the ability of river dolphins to avoid collisions with potentially fatal consequences. We have frequently seen the dolphins avoiding vessels in the River. The entire river of Bangladesh and maritime water faces environmental threats due to anthropogenic activities and pollution. Such as pollution is a major threat in the Turag-Buriganga River. The dreadful conditions of coastal habitats have major concerns for dolphin population and distribution. The dolphin is the best indicator of the health of the water. Dolphins are highly important with fish and shellfish for the maritime area of Bangladesh and the blue economy. Due to human anthropogenic activities and pollution, dolphin survival rate and movement are reducing with other aquatic species. We are concerned about freshwater and marine water ecology and the habitat of dolphins through local and international communities to develop the environment and the blue economy. Local communities are directly involved in the maritime area for livelihood opportunities. Aquatic ecosystems are directly affected by flood and pollution. Therefore more research, funding and support is required to conserve natural resources and dolphin in the aquatic ecosystem.
