🚨NEW PUBLICATION!🛥

64% of vessels operating within Scotland’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are not broadcasting AIS, meaning the majority of vessel activity within MPAs is invisible to the most frequently used monitoring and management systems.

New study led by SMRU's @izzylangley.bsky.social in collaboration with @strandings.bsky.social: evidence for grey seal predation of grey seals, harbour seals and harbour porpoises across Scotland, at levels that could prevent recovery of depleted populations. tinyurl.com/4r3wka6a
Intraguild predation in sympatric seals and the effect on a declining population
This study examined the prevalence, spatial extent, and temporal trends of grey seal intraguild predation (IGP). We demonstrated the utility of integrating disparate datasets to address conservation ....
