The Council of Ministers has approved the granting of de minimis aid of €167,481 to professional fishermen to cover the loss of income due to damage caused by dolphins, following a proposal by the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, in the context of supporting the fisheries sector. The de minimis financial aid relates to damage caused during the period 1/1/2022-31/12/2022.
Beneficiaries of the financial aid are coastal and multi-purpose fishermen whose licence is valid in 2022 and 2023 and have worked at least 35 working days, with at least 300 kg of catch during 2022.
It is noted that damage caused by dolphins to fishermen's nets and catch is one of the most important problems faced by Cypriot fishermen.

It is noted that damage caused by dolphins to fishermen's nets and catch is one of the most important problems faced by Cypriot fishermen. Dolphins are a protected species which, in their search for food, attack fishermen's nets, resulting in their entrapment and, in most cases, their death. As a result, the dolphin population is under pressure and in significant decline.
