Marine
Out of Doors with the Dolphins and Porpoises
January 19, 2017 by Marine Directorate Communications No Comments | Category Marine Directorate general, Marine Directorate Science
Last week, our Marine Mammals Specialist, Dr Kate Brookes was interviewed by Euan McIlwraith from the Out of Doors programme on Radio Scotland about the ECOMMAS project. They had been intrigued after seeing our blog post about one of the acoustic loggers from the ECOMMAS array being found on a beach near Aberdeen harbour. Euan was interested in why we are collecting data on dolphins and porpoises on the east coast of Scotland and how we’re going about it. You’ll have to listen to find out the answers!
