Description

This project proposes to deepen our knowledge of the diet of blue and white dolphins and bottlenose dolphins in the Pelagos Sanctuary and also to contribute to the evaluation of the pressures (waste) exerted on these species by analysing the stomach contents of individuals stranded on the French Mediterranean coast since the beginning of the 2000s, with a focus on the coast bordering the Pelagos Sanctuary.
