| dc.description | Dolphin depredation, whereby dolphins remove catches from nets and damage fishing gear, has become an issue worldwide, affecting both the survival of wild dolphin populations and fishers’ livelihoods. However, the lack of data regarding the scope of these interactions in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea hinders the ability to protect both parties. As interactions between fishers and dolphins in the region become more frequent, loss of income can create conflicts, undermining efforts to improve both marine mammal conservation and fisheries sustainability in the region. This brief summarizes the protocol developed jointly by the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area and the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean and aims at providing policy makers and other interested parties with key elements for a harmonized data collection on dolphin depredation. | |
