Interaction of fisheries with vulnerable species, the results of the Life Delfi project presented at the workshop organised by ACCOBAMS (Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Areas) in the framework of FAO-GFCM funded projects. The workshop, held online on 28 January, was well attended and served to share experiences and exchange views on activities and achievements on the issue of fisheries interactions with vulnerable species, as well as to reflect on monitoring and mitigation actions on by-catch of cetaceans, elasmobranchs, reptiles, seabirds, juveniles, and dolphin depredation. The workshop was addressed by Life Delfi coordinator Alessandro Lucchetti (CNR-IRBIM) and Guido Pietroluongo from the University of Padua (project partner). The former illustrated the culmination of Life Delfi, completed in December 2024, namely smart pingers, acoustic bollards to be installed on networks optimised with the use of artificial intelligence. These devices, unique in the world, are a pioneering activity that could mark a turning point for the phenomenon of dolphin interaction with fishing activity. The first devices have already been tested and the refinement work is going on. In the following talk, Pietroluongo illustrated the great effort made in the monitoring and analysis of cetaceans stranded along the Italian coast over the last 38 years, a very important activity to establish the causes of death of cetaceans and what, if any, type of interaction took place before the specimens were stranded. The novelty, introduced in recent years as part of Life Delfi, is the diagnostic framework developed to improve the post-mortem analysis of cetaceans precisely through the identification of different categories of interactions. The projects and this event were supported by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). The event proved to be a great opportunity to present Life Delphi's actions to an audience of leading experts in the field.
