Better understanding accidental dolphin catches in the Bay of Biscay in order to reduce them The Delmoges (DELphinus MOuvements GEStion) scientific project has been completed and the final reports are now available. Launched in March 2022 for a period of three and a half years, this ambitious interdisciplinary project aimed to study, for the first time, the mechanisms behind the accidental capture of common dolphins in the Bay of Biscay and to propose solutions for reconciling fishing and the protection of common dolphins. The project generated a wealth of new knowledge, particularly on dolphin ecology and on measuring and mapping the risk of capture at different spatial and temporal scales. https://www.ifremer.fr/en/press/better-understanding-accidental-dolphin-catches-bay-biscay-order-reduce-them
