Not a whale, but want to use World Whale Day as an opportunity to raise awareness of the vaquita porpoise. These critically endangered beauties need our help! Humans are driving their extinction!

That look - you can see his eyes and his grin through the water splashes!
Here in a bigger Zoom :-)

This came up in my FB memories and I thought I'd share it here also.
The video is from several years ago, when I was out commercial salmon fishing with my partner.
I think I like seeing porpoises more than whales. They are so playful, weaving under and around the boat in a choreographed ballet.

I led a group sailing trip yesterday with the #HollyburnSailingClub. We just sailed from #AmblesideBeach and west a bit past Dundarave.
It has been a cold and wet start to the sailing season this year.
On the way back I saw a group of #porpoise just south of Dundarave. I saw them 3 times last year while sailing and saw them much less in past years. I don't know if I have been getting lucky, or if the population has been increasing around Vancouver.
Just before the end of 2023, we published a new newsletter 'Discover the mammals of Europe'.

#EnergyTransition: How bubble curtains protect #porpoises from wind farm noise https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20231106-the-big-bubble-curtains-protecting-porpoises-from-wind-farm-noise
"As huge offshore #WindFarms spread across Europe's seas, efforts grow to buffer the impact on #wildlife... The #BubbleCurtain was designed around the #porpoise's specific needs and traits, lowering #WindFarm construction noise to a threshold deemed safe for the species, based on scientific research. Its proven muffling effect may also benefit other marine #mammals such as #seals"
#DCE #Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) show a continous decline in the inner #danish waters. Porpoises are withstanding in the #NorthSea, where there were observed another four species in the danish parts of North Sea and #Skagerrak: #MinkeWhale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), #WhiteBeakedDolphin (Lagenorhynchus albirostris), #AtlanticWhiteSidedDolphin (Lagenorhynchus acutus) and #AtlanticBottlenoseDolphin (Tursiops truncatus).

23/7: I spent the morning on the sea - another trip on 'Kelly's Hero'. We spotted an early returning Purple Sandpiper and Mediterranean Gull before we'd left #Brixham Harbour.
Short-beaked Common Dolphin, Harbour Porpoise, Manx Shearwater, Gannet, Kittiwake, Fulmar were the highlights out in Lyme Bay.
