Seasonal and diel patterns in cetacean use and foraging at a potential marine renewable energy site

Nuuttila, Hanna K.; Bertelli, Chiara M.; Mendzil, Anouska; Dearle, Nessa
Marine Pollution Bulletin (2018)

Marine renewable energy (MRE) developments often coincide with sites frequented by small cetaceans. To understand habitat use and assess potential impact from development, echolocation clicks were recorded with acoustic click…


Crossing boundaries for cetacean conservation: Setting research priorities to guide management of harbour porpoises

IJsseldijk, Lonneke L.; ten Doeschate, Mariel T. I.; Davison, Nicholas J.; Gröne, Andrea; Brownlow, Andrew C.
Marine Policy (2018)

Effective management of natural resources involves a multidisciplinary perspective to address complex issues in data poor-environments. With mobile species that do not conform to human-defined borders a cross-boundary approach is…
