Sea Shepherd captures footage of dolphins killed in fishing nets off French Atlantic Coast

A dolphin killed in the net of French fishing trawlers was captured on film just before dawn on Wednesday, February 27, by Sea Shepherd’s M/Y Sam Simon crew while patrolling fishing areas in France’s Bay of Biscay. The dolphin was caught by two French trawlers off the coast of Lacanau using a pelagic trawling method that deploys a huge funnel-shaped net in the water between two vessels, known to be non-selective and particularly destructive on the spawning grounds of the sea bass where dolphins swim.
