HIGH FREQUENCY #VESSELNOISE 🛥️ MASKS ECHOLOCATION AND COMMUNICATION 🔉 IN #HARBOURPORPOISES 🐬

Last week, our 2 PhD students & colleagues successfully conducted a full turnover of 8 #acousticrecording stations 🎧 out in Aarhus Bay 🌊. The data feeds into a year-round #marinesoundscape monitoring programme to assess #noisedisturbance for #harbourporpoises 🚢🐬(funded by AVJ Naturfond).

Gutted to be leaving the #OuterHebrides but the crossing this morning from #Castlebay to #Oban was just sublime. Highlights were 3 #MinkeWhale, 30+ bow wave riding #CommonDolphin, #HarbourPorpoises, seals and rafts of #ManxShearwaters the pick of plenty of #seabirds. 💚 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Exciting views of 12+ very active #HarbourPorpoises, Berry Head yesterday.
Is photo a false-mating (breach on LHS of another H. Porpoise) or enthusuastic fishing? Wonderful to see.
Cormorants and Shags catching Herring or Mackerel just off the headland. Fish plentiful.

🔊 Paper alert! 🐬🎧
Noise of high-speed vessels 🚤 impairs the #biosonar ability of #harbourporpoises 🐬 - making it more difficult for them to
🤯 sense surroundings,
🧭 navigate and
🐟 hunt prey
within several hundred meters.
🥳Huge contribution to understanding masking effects!

#HarbourPorpoises still very active yesterday off Berry Head.
Thankfully not much boat disturbance.
