Why the random mention of dolphins? The ones being hunted aren’t at risk of extinction.
It’s not as bad as cattle farming, which is straight up destroying the environment in several ways, from clear cutting rainforests to feed them to filling the air with methane.
Eating dolphinidae has proven to cause brain impairment in human children and babies, so will affect the public health, one of the objectives of this thing. Because cetaceans will typically bioaccumulate heavy metals and toxic products in its fat.

Cetaceans travel huge distances so... how much are "too much" dolphins? 1000 dolphins in a bay can seem a lot but, what if is 1000 for the entire Mediterranean?
If a machine comes with 30 screws, you just don't remove 20 screws randomly and expect the machine work as well as before. Is clearly a bad idea. Top predators provide environmental services for free, that are extremely expensive or impossible to replace. When we broke it, is broken for a long, long time, at least the rest of our lives.

And dolphin tastes pretty good, too.
