3 Background to the NECP Regular pelagic trips into the North Sea since 1998 (NTBC trips since 1987) White-beaked Dolphins found in 2003, 2005, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 MARINElife project in Lyme Bay
4
5 Why study White-beaked Dolphins? European Protected Species (Annexe IV, Habitats Directive) Favourable Conservation Status assessed every 6 years SCANS (1994) estimated 7856 for North Sea and Channel SCANS II (2005) estimated central/northern North Sea population as 10, Favourable with no significant future threats However...
6 Do we really know how many White-beaked Dolphins there are? Large confidence intervals in abundance estimates Local studies and wider distribution data suggest range contraction Vulnerable to climate change (rising sea temperature), habitat degradation, bycatch, overfishing of prey species, acoustic pollution, biocontamination
7 Survey method 3/4 observers (leader/photographer, cetaceans/effort data, ESAS, scribe) Effort data; position, heading, sea state, swell height, wind speed/direction, precipitation it isn t easy to write heavy snow when you re in a white-out

10 Survey Work 6 boat-based surveys carried out during winter 2009/10, severely hampered by the weather Regular transect surveys on PV St Oswald in 2011/12/13, occasionally hampered by the weather Transect surveys of the Farne Deeps in August 2012 and March/April 2013
