Campaigners urge France to ban fishing where dolphins are at risk

Record number of dead dolphins have washed up on Atlantic beaches in last month

Animal campaigners say time is running out for the dolphin population off France's west coast and are calling on the government to ban fishing in areas where the animals are at risk.

A record number of dead dolphins have washed up on the country's Atlantic beaches in the last month, but activists believe this is only a fraction of those being injured and killed by fishing boats.
