<br>Abstract<br><br>The first mass stranding of Risso’s dolphins Grampus griseus on the Peruvian coast occurred on Pozo de Lizas Beach<br>(17°42´30.30"S 71°18´48.70"W), port of Ilo, Department of Moquegua, southern Peru, between 7 and 8 June 2007. At least<br>
14 Risso’s dolphins were stranded along 1.5 km of beach. Just 7 of them could be sized and 8 sexed; this group was composed<br>of 7 males and a single female plus a juvenile of undetermined sex. Mean standard body length of the males was 299.67 cm<br>
(SD: 9.91 cm, range: 292–317 cm) and the female measured 289 cm. The entire group, including four individuals found alive,<br>was illegally butchered by the local people to use the meat as food, while other remains were used as bait in the pelagic longline<br>
fishery. This record fills a distributional gap of about 1000 km in the known distribution of the species between central<br>Peru and northern Chile. Additional education is required for improved conservation strategies in future cetacean strandings.<br>
