 Short beaked common dolphins /Delphinus delphis/ in the Mediterranean Sea are listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List.
Intensive research conducted in one of their few remaining strongholds in the Mediterranean - an EC Natura 2000 area in the eastern Ionian Sea - documented ecosystem damage caused by overfishing which resulted in the dramatic decline of formerly abundant common dolphins.
Thirteen local, regional and international NGOs have joined forces to advocate fisheries management action to protect biodiversity and preserve fish stocks, which would allow for the long-term survival of artisanal fisheries and common dolphins.
An urgent CALL FOR ACTION was recently issued, where the necessary management actions are identified:

We would be grateful if list members can disseminate this Call and contribute to the ongoing efforts to ensure the recovery of one of the last common dolphin communities living in the Mediterranean. |
