Quantifying harbour porpoise foraging behaviour in CPOD data
Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are regularly monitored to assess how they are impacted by the construction and operation of offshore wind farms. A suitable method to do this is passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) by stationary hydrophones, for example CPODs. These devices provide information on...
