Gillnet modifications to reduce bycatch of harbor porpoises
Gillnets are passive fishing gears that belong to the oldest and most frequently used gears worldwide, providing income and food for millions of people. They are most used in small-scale and artisanal coastal fisheries and operated from small boats often less than 12 m in length.

Distribution and abundance of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and other marine mammals off the northern Washington coast [PDF]
We examined the summer distribution of marine mammals off the northern Washington coast based on six ship transect surveys conducted between 1995 and 2002, primarily from the NOAA ship McArthur. Additionally, small boat surveys were conducted in the same

Evolution of group size in the dolphins and porpoises: interspecific consistency of intraspecific patterns [PDF]
I investigated group size variability in dolphins and porpoises using intraspecific comparisons. Explanatory factors considered in the analysis were variables of the physical environment, the diet, and the life history of the species.

Harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in Norwegian waters
Recordings made on the Norwegian Sighting Survey 1988 and the North Atlantic Sighting Survey 1988 (NASS-89) indicate a divided off shore distribution during summer for harbour porpoises in Norwegian waters, with a southern component in the North Sea area and a northern component from Lofoten and into the Barents Sea.

Determining the spatial and temporal extent of the influence of pile driving sound on harbour porpoises [PDF]
Piling driving sound is known to impact harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) distribution, but to date detailed knowledge on the combined spatial and temporal components of this impact over longer time periods remains lacking. From May to September 2016,
