DAPG has also campaigned against high seas pelagic drift-netting[2] which kills cetacean caught in the drift nets, and succeeded in phasing out this fishing technique in the southern Indian and Atlantic oceans. DAPG has collaborated with Marine and Coastal Management in the formation of a South African Whale Disentanglement Unit. Campaigns
PublicityDAPG hit headlines in May 2009 when a decision by a group of whales to strand themselves on the beach at Kommetjie made news on CNN and BBC.[4] DAPG immediately got into action and started calling up its trained volunteers to go to assist. Nan Rice, head of the Dolphin Action and Protection group said "mass strandings are extremely stressful for whales and to save stranding whales is an extremely difficult task". DAPG had an important function in making South Africa the first country in the world to protect the great white shark in 1991.[5] Key persons involved in making the protection possible were Nan Rice (DAPG), Leonard Compagno (University of Cape Town) and Theo Ferreira (former white shark fisherman).[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.enviropaedia.com/company/default.php?pk_company_id=197 |title=Sustainable Development and Environment | The Dolphin Action Protection Group |publisher=Enviropaedia.com |date= |accessdate=2010-05-04}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/56163035.html?dids=56163035:56163035&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jul+18%2C+1991&author=Bruce+Frankel&pub=USA+TODAY+%28pre-1997+Fulltext%29&desc=Oceans%27+protectors+decry+%60walls+of+death%27&pqatl=google|title=Oceans' protectors decry `walls of death'|last=Frankel |first=Bruce |date=July 18, 1991|work=USA Today|accessdate=4 May 2010}} 3. ^Bernvi, D.C.
