I hope that this list will assist you in discovering your own cities Sister or Twin in Japan and that you will reach out to the authorities in your city to get a message to the people of Japan to Save the Dolphins...the citizens of Japan have been kept in a News Blackout about what is happening at #TheCove, #Taiji and it is time that they are given the truth.

If your city has a twin that is not listed here please post it in the comments section...as always thank you for taking the time to visit my space and share your love of our friends the dolphins.
