The Bay of Biscay faces increased risks for dolphins due to fishing activities. The European Commission will re-implement a temporary fishing ban from January 22 to February 20, 2026, affecting vessels over eight meters to reduce dolphin deaths. This is the third consecutive year of such measures, which have shown effectiveness in decreasing dolphin fatalities. The ban will impact around 300 vessels, with compensation available for fishermen. Additional measures include the use of acoustic deterrents and strengthened monitoring programs.
