坂下さんは見学ツアーを2005年に始め、コロナ前は年間4000人近くがツアーに参加していましたが、地震の影響で再開の見通しは立っていません。
Sakashita started organizing the tours in 2005, and before the coronavirus, nearly 4,000 people a year took the tours, but because of the earthquake there is no prospect of resuming them.
「辞めないで下さい、必ず来ますから。何か励まされて、やるしかないかなっと思って」
"Please don't give up, I will definitely come back. I feel like I have no other choice but to do something to encourage them."
地震後、イルカ全頭が無事かは確認できていませんが、坂下さんたちはツアーの再開を目指し、今後もイルカの観察を続けるということです。
Although it has not been confirmed whether all the dolphins are safe after the earthquake, Sakashita and his colleagues will continue to observe the dolphins in the future with the aim of resuming tours.
