Bottlenose dolphins take over the Costa Brava and surprise fishers
The Costa Brava is experiencing a rise in bottlenose dolphins. These mammals take advantage of trawling nets. They do not damage the equipment or interfere with fishers. Scientists highlight their incredible adaptation. Find out how they coexist with local fishing.

The presence of bottlenose dolphins on the Costa Brava has increased notably in recent years, according to recent scientific research. Experts have observed that these marine mammals have developed a surprising ability to coexist with the local fishing fleet.
The dolphins use the boats' trawl nets to feed easily, without damaging the gear or hindering the fishers' work. Far from creating conflict, this behaviour has attracted researchers' attention because of the animals' ability to adapt to human activity in Catalonia's coastal waters.
The phenomenon, documented by marine biologists, underlines the flexibility and ingenuity of bottlenose dolphins in their natural environment. The peaceful coexistence of wildlife and traditional fishing is becoming one of the most distinctive images of the Catalan coastline.
