Dead Dolphin

Dolphins and porpoises are dying in hundreds, maybe thousands, in fishing nets around the UK. The awful spectacle of dead dolphins on our beaches will continue unless more action is taken.

The death of dolphins and porpoises in fishing nets is not only a conservation issue, but also a critical welfare matter. As panic sets in, the trapped dolphins thrash around in their struggle to surface for air. It is common for dolphins to suffer many broken teeth, Their beaks, jaws and fins are torn in their furious attempt to break free from the net. Eventually they will run out of air, suffocate and die.

Help Dolphin Care Uk

The bass trawl fishery has killed an estimated 67,500 common dolphins in the last 15 years. The dolphins are trapped and killed in nets dragged at high speed through the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay during December, January, February and March. Hundreds more dolphins will die this winter, and Dolphin Care Uk and The Wildlife Trusts believe that the only solution is to ban this form of fishing until possible solutions or alternative measures have been fully trialled and researched.
