- This is a conservation plan for the Harbour Porpoise Phocoena phocoena based on the current seasonal occurrence and abundance of porpoises within waters under Dutch jurisdiction. - The conservation…
Behavioral reactions of harbor porpoise to pile-driving noise
Tougaard, Jakob; Kyhn, Line A.; Amundin, Mats; Wennerberg, Daniel; Bordin, Carolina
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (2012)
Pile driving of large steel monopiles in offshore waters has increased rapidly in recent years due to the expanding development of offshore wind energy. In particular, Phocoena phocoena (harbor porpoise)…
Is a German harbour porpoise much more sensitive than a British one? Comparative analyses of mandatory measures for the protection of harbour porposes (Phocoena phocoena) during offshore wind farm ramming in Germany, Denmark and the UK
Luedeke, Jens
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (2012)
Offshore wind farms (OWF) will soon contribute to significant growth in the renewable energy sector. At present just a few OWF have been built. As of 2012, Germany has an…
Negative long term effects on harbour porpoises from a large scale offshore wind farm in the Baltic – evidence of slow recovery
Teilmann, Jonas; Carstensen, Jacob
Environmental Research Letters (2012)
Offshore wind farms constitute a new and fast growing industry all over the world. This study investigates the long term impact on harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, for more than 10…
Effects of pile-driving on harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) at the first offshore wind farm in Germany
Dähne, Michael; Gilles, Anita; Lucke, Klaus; Peschko, Verena; Adler, Sven; Krügel, Kathrin; Sundermeyer, Janne; Siebert, Ursula
Environ. Res. Lett. (2013)
The first offshore wind farm 'alpha ventus' in the German North Sea was constructed north east of Borkum Reef Ground approximately 45 km north off the German coast in 2008…
Do man-made structures and water depth affect the diel rhythms in click recordings of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)?
Brandt, Miriam J.; Hansen, Sophie; Diederichs, Ansgar; Nehls, Georg
Mar Mam Sci (2014)
The construction of industrial offshore structures may lead to colonization by a variety of marine organisms resulting in locally enhanced biodiversity and biomass, which may then affect the habitat use…
Effects of offshore pile driving on harbour porpoise abundance in the German Bight
Brandt, Miriam J.; Dragon, Anne-Cécile; Diederichs, Ansgar; Schubert, Alexander; Kosarev, Vladislav; Nehls, Georg; Wahl, Veronika; Michalik, Andreas; Braasch, Alexander; Hinz, Claus; Ketzer, Christian; Todeskino, Dieter; Gauger, Marco; Laczny, Martin; Pipe, Werner
Report for Offshore Forum Windenergie (2016)
This study analyses the effects of the construction of eight offshore wind farms within the German North Sea between 2009 and 2013 on harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). It combines porpoise…
Noise mitigation during pile driving efficiently reduces disturbance of marine mammals
Nehls, Georg; Rose, Armin; Diederichs, Ansgar; Bellmann, Michael; Pehlke, Hendrik
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (2016)
Acoustic monitoring of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena L., 1758) indicated a strongly reduced disturbance by noise emitted by pile driving for offshore wind turbine foundations insulated by a big bubble…
Effect of construction-related activities and vessel traffic on marine mammals
Culloch, R. M.; Anderwald, P.; Brandecker, A.; Haberlin, D.; McGovern, B.; Pinfield, R.; Visser, F.; Jessopp, M.; Cronin, M.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (2016)
During the construction of a gas pipeline from an offshore gas field in northwest Ireland, a year-round shore-based marine mammal monitoring programme was undertaken. Using 6 yr of data, generalised…
Pile driving playback sounds and temporary threshold shift in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena): Effect of exposure duration
Kastelein, Ronald A.; Helder-Hoek, Lean; Covi, Jennifer; Gransier, Robin
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2016)
High intensity underwater sounds may cause temporary hearing threshold shifts (TTSs) in harbor porpoises, the magnitude of which may depend on the exposure duration. After exposure to playbacks of pile…
