Fishing nets are the most serious menace for cetaceans, particularly dolphins and porpoises, being the death cause for thousands of them every year. Also fishermen suffer great damage in terms of loss of catch and holes in the nets.

The DDD, Dolphin Dissuasive Device, electronic instrument resulting from long research made together with prestigious marine behaviour research centres, like the Marine and Ambient Research Institute from the CNR and Seamed, both from Mazzara del Vallo, assures the dolphins remain far from their main danger and protects the fishing nets and the industry's profitability. The device is in conformity with the European Union Council Regulation (EC) 812/2004 of April 26th 2004, Annex II.  See the models  DDD 03.
