The prevalence of ultra short baseline acoustic position systems, also known as USBLs 🔊, is understudied in #EuropeanWaters and its effect on marine mammals 🐋, such as the #harbourPorpoise, is mostly unknown. These systems are used in #geophysicalSurveys and during #trawling fishing activities. 🧵1/6

Hello!

I rapidly exited twitter (RIP) a fair while ago, and have since missed the valuable interactions & learning it used to provide. Delighted to join @bsky.app to reconnect with folks.

To introduce myself:
I am a marine ecologist specialising in #marinemammals based in the #scottishhighlands
