Members of marine conservation organisation Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) hold a banner reading “Thousands of dolphins like this one are massacred each year in France so that you can eat fish”, as they stand behind the layed-out body of a dolphin recovered on the French coasts, during a demonstration to denounce accidental catches in the Bay of Biscay, on February 9, 2020, in Bordeaux. The Pelagis Observatory, which documents cetacean beaching peaks, has noted a worsening of the situation since 2016.In 2019, 1,200 beachings of small cetaceans were recorded between January and April, the most deadly period, including 880 common dolphins.
