So far this year, 600 dolphins have stranded on the French beaches of the Atlantic coast. The fishing industry is largely responsible for this phenomenon. Professionals say they are aware of this problem and since 2000 they have been looking for solutions. The last one, under study, consists of installing acoustic transmitters to keep dolphins away during fishing.
