23/7: I spent the morning on the sea - another trip on 'Kelly's Hero'. We spotted an early returning Purple Sandpiper and Mediterranean Gull before we'd left #Brixham Harbour.
Short-beaked Common Dolphin, Harbour Porpoise, Manx Shearwater, Gannet, Kittiwake, Fulmar were the highlights out in Lyme Bay.

Wonderful news! Increase of 237 porpoises in 5 years. Let’s hope the populations of the other species of #endangered #RiverPorpoises does the same.
"Incredible results like these for the Yangtze finless #porpoise remind us that there is still hope for the world's other five remaining species of river dolphins – all of which are threatened with #extinction."

Things haven’t looked good for the #vaquita for decades, but the last few years have brought the species to the #BrinkOfExtinction . #Endemic & #exclusive to the upper #GulfOfCalifornia - the pint-size #porpoise has become an unfortunate bycatch of fishing operations in the area, primarily the illegal catching of #totoaba .
Listed as #Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature
#IUCN #RedList of #ThreatenedSpecies

GLOBALink | A shutterbug's passion for the #finless #porpoise.
The #Yangtze finless porpoise, the namesake of #China's longest river, is so connected to the Yangtze River that any change in the health of its environment can support -- or threaten -- the species' survival. Photographer Yang He understands this and has made it his life's mission to document the recovery of this precious creature.

Dolphins are near extinction in the Bay of Biscay, Atlantic Ocean, due to fishing nets there. Each year they kill between ten and eighteen thousand, by mistake.

In addition they report that for the endangered #Baltic #Porpoise population, the explosions were probably catastrophic, any within 5km would have been killed immediately by the shockwave (presumably any other species too). Any within 50km we're almost certainly deafened.
There is a hypothesis that deafening of #cetaceans can lead to beach strandings, would be interesting to find out if they increased after this explosion ..
"The world’s smallest porpoise is on the edge of extinction - but an environmental group has successfully reduced fishing in the protected areas it calls home."
