1 Tursiops truncatus in the Mediterranean and Black Seas Second Natura 2000 seminar for the Baltic, Atlantic, Macaronesian, Mediterranean & Black Sea marine biogeographical regions Palma, Mallorca November 2018 Simone Panigada, Hélène Labach with inputs from numerous colleagus
2 CONSERVATION STATUS Med Sea No overall estimate of the Mediterranean sub-population, isolated from the Atlantic and Black sea ones, and supposed to be in its low 10,000s; Scarce information on the distribution and abundance in the Eastern and Southern part of the Mediterranean basin; Overall decline of the Mediterranean sub-population, resulting from a decrease in number of dolphins sighted and a decrease in their range; The Mediterranean subpopulation have been and is still currently subject to a number of threats that can result in direct mortality; Trends, distribution, behaviour and genetic data suggest the existence of more than one sub-population, claiming a complex Mediterranean population structure. Reeves, R. & Notarbartolo di Sciara, G., The status and distribution of cetaceans in the Black sea and Mediterranean sea. IUCN Workshop report.
3 CONSERVATION STATUS Black Sea No overall estimate of the Black Sea sub-population, isolated from Mediterranean Sea one, and supposed to be not less than several 1000s of animals; Large directed takes occurred before the ban on small cetacean hunting was declared in Turkey in There are indications of some recent intentional killing and harassment in Ukraine; Regionally dispersed incidental mortality in bottom-set gillnets (some 100s per year). This mortality increased in the 1990s-2000s due to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in the Black Sea; Live-capture for captivity is roughly estimated at 1,000-2,000 since the early 1960s. Live-captures continue in the Russian Federation, with animals per year; A mass stranding/mortality event of unknown cause occurred in 1990; Ongoing degradation of the Black Sea environment and declines in many of its indigenous animal populations since the 1970s, with a likely peak in the devastation caused by overfishing and habitat deterioration.

6 ACCOBAMS SURVEY INITIATIVE - ASI THE FIRST CETACEAN MACRO REGIONAL SURVEY
7 ASI transects covered by aerial surveys Different colors of transects correspond to the different teams. Areas appearing white are covered by boats. For reasons of logistical or technical constraints, a few areas could not be surveyed.
8 ASI bottlenose dolphin sightings Bottlenose dolphins (blu circles) appear to be very common in the northern portion of the Adriatic Sea, in the Strait of Sicily, in the Aegean and along the coast, with some sighting more offshore.

17 Bulgaria - Dimitar Popov, Greenbalkans Estimated abundance for Bulgarian territorial waters (12 mile zone) from dedicated line transect distance sampling vessel surveys is as follows: 1370 ( , CV = 50.64%) in June 2017 and 369 ( , CV = 66.5%) in June Estimated abundance for psci Strandzha from vessel transect survey in April 2016: 389 ( , CV=49.20%). Photo-identification survey was made in 2012 and since then few more animals added to catalogue but no recaptures
18 Bulgaria - Dimitar Popov, Greenbalkans Regular feeding among trawlers observed in February, April and October with largest detected group being in April 2016, with estimated size of more than 30 animals including juveniles. Number of stranded bottlenose dolphins in the period is 90 with peak numbers being in 2013 (22) and 2012 (20). Largest stranded idividual was almost 3 m long. In 11 cases most probable reason was bycatch - identified by missing flukes, remaining of nets, ropes, etc. EEA project executed by NOAH ( ) defined conservation status according to art. 17 of EU Habitats Directive as Unfavourable - bad for overall evaluataion and for different criteria is: Range - favourable; Population - Unfavourable-bad; Habitat - unfavourable-bad; Threat and impacts - unfavourable inadequate.

21 Turkey - Ayaka Amaha Ozturk, Arda M. Tonay No detailed information on habitats of this species in Turkish waters -rare in the eastern coast. The area close to the Istanbul Strait is important for bottlenose dolphins. Found in the western and central Turkish Black Sea coast. The bottlenose dolphin is the least common cetacean species (15% in April and in July) in the Turkish coast (Çelikkale et al. 1989). Dede and Tonay (2010) reported the bottlenose dolphin was the second most commonly observed species (44%) in the western Black Sea in autumn. (after Çelikkale et al. 1989)
22 Turkey - Ayaka Amaha Ozturk, Arda M. Tonay During , in total, 1243 stranded cetaceans (bottlenose dolphins 10%) were recorded in western Black Sea (Tonay et al. 2017). Number of bycaught bottlenose dolphin were estimated 168 (CV: 0.93) in 2007 during legal and illegal periods of turbot fishing season (Tonay 2016). Gönener and Özdemir (2012) carried out a study in Sinop Bay (centre of Turkish Black Sea coast) where intensive red mullet (Mullus barbatus) fishing activities were conducted with bottom gill nets. Average loss was calculated for each fishing boat throughout the season due to depredation by bottlenose dolphins. ( )Tonay
23 Turkey - Ayaka Amaha Ozturk, Arda M. Tonay The Sea of Marmara constitutes an important migration pathway between the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea and called as Turkish Straits System (TSS). Dolphins use the area as a natural trap for feeding on migratory pelagic fishes and migrate through then TSS in April-May for feeding (Öztürk and Öztürk 1996). A long term passive acoustic monitoring survey in the Istanbul Strait by Dede et al. (2014) and Kameyama et al. (2014), and surveys on bottlenose dolphin behaviours in relation to marine traffic by Akkaya Baş et al. (2015) have been conducted in the İstanbul Strait (ACCOBAMS CCH). ( )Tonay

32 Adriatic Sea Drasko Holcer A recent paper by Fortuna and colleagues (2018) has assessed the coherence of the European Union Marine Natura 2000 network for wide-ranging charismatic species, presenting the Mediterranean Sea as a case study. The paper assesses the appropriateness of the current Sites of Community Importance (SCIs) in the Adriatic Sea and the relevance of the existing marine Natura 2000 network for the conservation of the target species, which include common bottlenose dolphins. The authors provide new considerations on the different approaches used to evaluate SCI designations, describing how the system may be triggered to consider and include threat identification before SCI designation, and stressing the importance of size of selected areas, particularly when dealing with management commitments for mobile species such as cetaceans.
33 Adriatic Sea Drasko Holcer The authors conclude by suggesting that socio-economic data and stakeholder use patterns should be combined, to facilitate and enable that conservation measures are suggested to match the existing regulatory context, following a shared procedure with other EU instruments that are active within the Black Sea region, such as the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC) (MSFD), and the Marine Spatial Planning Directive (2014/89/EU) (MSP).
