Our new #OA paper investigates effects of #ship #noise on harbour porpoises 🚢🔊🐬: 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Thanks to support from SATURN Project Marine Mammal Research @ AU, TNO & @CaraAGallagher for porpoise & ship 🖌️ Follow the 🧵 for some fun animations (1/5)

Ever seen an "Echogram"? It represents what the porpoises see with their echolocation clicks. Y axes: distance ahead. X axis: what happens in time. Prey: thin yellow line getting closer Red and yellow: porpoise clicks See more in link #PorpoiseLove journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/21…

One more week to have your say! Consultations on the potential listing of Harbour Porpoise, northwest Atlantic population, Lumpfish and Ringed Seal under the #SpeciesAtRisk Act will close on December 22: Species at risk public registry - ow.ly/vsyV50Qij0q

Call for evidence on impacts of fishing on harbour porpoise & marine birds As part of the next stages for managing English offshore marine protected areas (#MPAs), the Marine Management Organisation has launched a call for evidence. 👇 cmscoms.com/?p=37311

✨Species Spotlight - Harbour porpoise✨ 🐬Measure just 1.5-2m in length, with a dark grey body & small triangular dorsal fin 🐬Are very shy & travel on their own or in small groups 🐬Known as ‘puffing pigs’ due to the ‘puff’ noises they make when surfacing to take in air!

The WDC Shorewatch Project's most recorded animal is the Harbour Porpoise! We love these little pocket rockets they are speedy & challenging to see. Do you want to join our brilliant network of Shorewatch Volunteers? Find out more about the free training uk.whales.org/.../shorewatch…

Hard to watch. Porpoises are often harassed and killed by bottlenose dolphins around UK waters. Will we ever know why?

Wishing you all a 2024 overflowed with #PorpoiseLove 🥰🥳

Devastating news for the #HarbourPorpoise and all #ocean life! 👇 We need a #MarineActionPlan that effectively safeguards marine ecosystems and animals. 🌊🐬🐋

Extremely lucky that I was apart of this project, and great to see the research is being seen! 🐬🤩

With less than 500 individuals the Baltic Proper Harbour Porpoise population faces an extremely high risk of extinction due to bycatch, underwater noise and pollution. Considered #CriticallyEndangered it is proposed for listing on App I at #CMSCOP14. cms.int/en/document/pr…

Most definitely a harbour porpoise!

The Proper Baltic harbour porpoise population is very small, with ~500 animals left. The main threat to their survival is being caught in fishing nets. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

New blog post! The porpoise love knows no boundaries! The social life of harbour porpoises is almost entirely unknown but opportunistic observations and dedicated work are helping us unravel the mystery. And not just about interactions between porpoises! porpoiselady.org/post/the-porpo…
