Mitigation solutions show promise in reducing dolphin depredation in the Mediterranean

Across the Mediterranean, one of the problems that fishers have encountered in the last few decades involves dolphins removing parts of the catch directly from the net. Called depredation, this phenomenon is a growing concern for fishers, conservationists, scientists and administrators alike. 

The GFCM and ACCOBAMS, in collaboration with SPA/RAC and LIFE have run a four-year project in five countries to better understand depredation and to identify potential measures to mitigate these interactions in order to support sustainable fisheries and protect dolphin populations.
