Scientific Reports - An approach to using stranding data to monitor cetacean population trends and guide conservation strategies
📢 New paper out!
Cetacean strandings in Scotland have risen 125% over the past 30 years. Our study gives the first comprehensive picture of when, where, and which species strand, providing a baseline to guide conservation.
