The charity use sits money to support campaigns, for example for changes in fishing policy and so forth.
基金會用它的資金來支持一些運動，比如要求改變漁業政策的運動之類的。
It hopes soon to be able to employ its first full-time biologist with dolphin expertise to monitor populations.
我們希望不久之后就能雇傭到第一位具有海豚知識專長的生物學家，來監測海豚數量。
Of course, many people give their services on a voluntary basis and we now have volunteers working in observation office work and other things.
當然了，很多人都是以志愿者的身份加入到我們組織的，我們目前的觀察工作、辦公室工作和其他工作都有志愿者負責。
I should also tell you about the award we won from the Charity Commission last year for our work in education.
我還想告訴你們的是，去年我們在教育方面的工作獲得了慈善委員會的嘉獎。
Although it's not meant an enormous amount of money for us, it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood.
雖然這個獎并沒有給我們帶來巨額的金錢，但是它使我們的活動更加廣為人知，大家對我們的工作也更加理解。
In the long term it may not bring in extra members but we're hoping it'll have this effect.
長期來看，它雖然不一定能幫我們吸引到新成員，但我們還是希望能有這個效果。
Is it possible to see dolphins in UK waters?
在英國的海域能看見海豚嗎？
Yes. In several locations. And we have a big project in the east part of Scotland.
當然了，在好幾個地點都能看見。而且我們基金會在蘇格蘭東海岸還有一個大項目。
This has long been a haven for dolphins because it has very little shipping.
蘇格蘭東海岸長期以來都是海豚的避風港，因為那里的船運并不是很發達。
However, that may be about to change soon because oil companies want to increase exploration there.
但是，這一點恐怕很快就要變了，因為石油公司想在那兒增加開采量。
We're campaigning against this because, although there'll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.
我們正在舉行活動抗議該公司的這項舉措，因為，雖然石油本身并沒有多少污染，但是開采活動會在水下制造很多噪音。
It means the dolphins can't rest and socialise.
這樣的話海豚就沒辦法休息和社交了。
This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place.
我最初是這么對海豚保護產生興趣的。
I had never seen one and I hadn't been particularly interested in them at school.
我之前從沒親眼見過海豚，在學校的時候對它們也沒有特別感興趣。
Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins who had to leave their home in the Mora Firth because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them.
后來我無意中讀到了一篇故事，一個海豚家族，由于受到石油公司的影響，不得不離開它們在Mora Firth的家，然后一個孩子為了救它們進行了抗議。
I couldn't put the book down I was hooked.
我對這本書著了迷，根本放不下來。
