The Dolphinaria-Free Europe coalition, associated with ENDCAP, seeks to end the keeping of whales, dolphins and porpoises in captivity in the European Union. Our latest action is focused on calling for a breeding ban of captive cetaceans in EU countries. This comes following the news of a successful breeding ban in France (May 2017) and the release of the new documentary #InsideTheTanks, which was filmed at Marineland Antibes in France.
