Peoples porpoise project


Holly and her volunteers completed their 200th survey of the project yesterday and the project goes from strength to strength! well done to all our vols, old and new!


To date they have increased their catalogue of identifiable individuals to an incredible 90 individuals! Some are less obvious like the one above others are very obvious lik the individuals below.


There are several individuals that have been recorded on several occasions and in different months. 


This strongly suggests some degree of residence for these individuals, but also proves that the  Strumble  tidal system  is a special area for Porpoises.What we dont know is how they get these injuries... (Images: Ken Barnett)
