Bottlenose Dolphins gliding near the surface!
The Bottlenose Dolphins living in the waters around Elba island are on the hunt for food, and a series of fishing boats have given them the opportunity they were looking for.
Interactions between dolphins and fishing boats are on the rise, and unfortunately they don't always end well. The intensive and unsustainable practices that are often used in fishing are not helping the situation, so if we want to live in a world where there's enough food for us and all the animals that make this planet habitable, better rules and regulations must be set, especially regarding protected areas and wildlife sanctuaries.
A special thanks to Centro Ricerca Cetacei for the opportunity to witness the research that goes into the conservation of these creatures in the islands of Tuscany.
