But last year fishers only made 19 reports, even though experts estimate that about 1,000 porpoises, hundreds of dolphins and tens of whales die in UK waters each year.

"We found that when #acoustic deterrents were in use, the clicks of harbour #porpoises we detected indicated they were swimming directly away from the construction site. This proves that acoustic deterrent devices can make offshore wind farm construction safer.
We did detect responses among harbour porpoises up to 7 km from the construction site, suggesting that these deterrent devices may be almost too good at their job."

From the southern tip to the northern edge and west over to Yakutat, Southeast Alaska has porpoises, though they're kind of elusive. Contrary to mangement practices up to now, they do not comprise one single regional population. Looks like there are two distinct SE AK populations for sure, and probably more. Fishing-gear entanglements may be a serious problem for the southern population. #Alaska #fishing #porpoises
