Protecting Coastal Marine Mammals
Dr Simon Ingram
Marine Vertebrate Research Group, University of Plymouth
The coastal zone, a sensitive environment
Exposed to land based human activities
eg. agriculture, industry
Exposed to marine based human activities;
eg. shipping, fishing,
The interface between land and sea
Marine mammals in coastal waters
Grey seals (Halychoerus grypus)
Common seals (Phoca vitulina)
Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)
Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)
25 cetacean species (global total of about 80 spp and 2 species of seal.
Species listed in Annex ii of EU Habitats Directive
Coastal marine mammals
• Reliant on vulnerable coastal habitats
• High trophic level, ‘top predator’
• Long lived – slow breeding species (K selected)
• Highly mobile
The straw that broke the camel’s back
Or in this case…the cumulative burden of anthropogenic impacts on
coastal marine mammals
Fisheries depletion of
prey
Ecosystem regime shift
Noise from diesel
powered vessels
Disturbance from boats
Disturbance from
ecotourism
Disturbance from
leisure boats and jet
skis
Bio-accumulation of
heavy metals
Accumulation of
endocrine disrupting
organic pollutants
(PCBs)
Declining reproductive
success and survival
Fragmented
communities and loss
of population
resilience
Climate change..?
Direct takes (hunting)
Saxon era middens (7th – 10th C) near the Humber contained the remains of 58 dolphins from
a now extinct bottlenose dolphin population. (bottlenose dolphins disappeared from the
Humber in 1890’s). Dolphins and porpoises appeared on Henry XIII’s menu’s at Hampton
Court and were ‘royal fish’
Evidence shows that bottlenose dolphins used to be more widespread in our
coastal waters and that they were part of human diet.
Fisheries bycatch
Ban on Bass pair trawling (out to 12 nm in UK waters only)
Image http://www.cornwallgoodseafoodguide.org.uk
PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls) (persistant organic pollutant) levels in
dolphin blubber samples (banned since 2004 Stockholm Convention)
Red line = highest previous published levels in marine mammals
Black line = level known to have physiological effects
Noise exposure (OSPAR has classified human noise as a
marine pollutant)
The reality..!
Whale watching
-eco-tourism
• Risk of poor practice
• Chronic disturbance
The Long-term Consequences of
Short-term Responses to Disturbance
Experiences from Whalewatching Impact Assessment
Lusseau & Bejder. International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2007, 20, 228-236.
Measuring the effects of whalewatching tourism on wild
cetaceans
2 SACs in UK
2 SACs in Ireland
Current conservation underpinned by the EU Habitats Directive and Bern Convention
• Static MPAs
• Single species focus
• Designations not
determined by threat
• Brexit
Seasonal changes in rates of use of MPA (Shannon)

• Strong seasonal pattern in site use
• Site use is highly variable
• Suggests the SAC only represents a part of the range of the animals
The dolphins are not always within the protected area !
Long term shifts in ranging behaviour of a protected
population…

2016 data 28 dolphins estimated to use SW waters
Are static MPAs the best approach for protecting bottlenose
dolphins in SW coastal waters?
Ecosystem based management – understanding
dynamic influences on habitat use
• Tidal influence on foraging
Ecosystem based
management &
Indicators
What does a decline in the
indicator signal in the system?
What is the appropriate response?
Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)
Coastal bottlenose dolphins indicators for ecosystem status (GES)
What does the future hold….?
• Flexible MPAs?
• Threat based management
• Cumulative risk management
• Dynamic ocean management

Dr Simon Ingram, University of Plymouth - Protecting marine mammals in coastal environments

  • 1. Protecting Coastal Marine Mammals Dr Simon Ingram Marine Vertebrate Research Group, University of Plymouth
  • 2. The coastal zone, a sensitive environment Exposed to land based human activities eg. agriculture, industry Exposed to marine based human activities; eg. shipping, fishing, The interface between land and sea
  • 3. Marine mammals in coastal waters Grey seals (Halychoerus grypus) Common seals (Phoca vitulina) Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) 25 cetacean species (global total of about 80 spp and 2 species of seal. Species listed in Annex ii of EU Habitats Directive
  • 4. Coastal marine mammals • Reliant on vulnerable coastal habitats • High trophic level, ‘top predator’ • Long lived – slow breeding species (K selected) • Highly mobile
  • 5. The straw that broke the camel’s back Or in this case…the cumulative burden of anthropogenic impacts on coastal marine mammals Fisheries depletion of prey Ecosystem regime shift Noise from diesel powered vessels Disturbance from boats Disturbance from ecotourism Disturbance from leisure boats and jet skis Bio-accumulation of heavy metals Accumulation of endocrine disrupting organic pollutants (PCBs) Declining reproductive success and survival Fragmented communities and loss of population resilience Climate change..? Direct takes (hunting)
  • 6. Saxon era middens (7th – 10th C) near the Humber contained the remains of 58 dolphins from a now extinct bottlenose dolphin population. (bottlenose dolphins disappeared from the Humber in 1890’s). Dolphins and porpoises appeared on Henry XIII’s menu’s at Hampton Court and were ‘royal fish’ Evidence shows that bottlenose dolphins used to be more widespread in our coastal waters and that they were part of human diet.
  • 8. Ban on Bass pair trawling (out to 12 nm in UK waters only) Image http://www.cornwallgoodseafoodguide.org.uk
  • 9. PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls) (persistant organic pollutant) levels in dolphin blubber samples (banned since 2004 Stockholm Convention) Red line = highest previous published levels in marine mammals Black line = level known to have physiological effects
  • 10. Noise exposure (OSPAR has classified human noise as a marine pollutant)
  • 11. The reality..! Whale watching -eco-tourism • Risk of poor practice • Chronic disturbance
  • 12. The Long-term Consequences of Short-term Responses to Disturbance Experiences from Whalewatching Impact Assessment Lusseau & Bejder. International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2007, 20, 228-236. Measuring the effects of whalewatching tourism on wild cetaceans
  • 13.
  • 14. 2 SACs in UK 2 SACs in Ireland Current conservation underpinned by the EU Habitats Directive and Bern Convention • Static MPAs • Single species focus • Designations not determined by threat • Brexit
  • 15. Seasonal changes in rates of use of MPA (Shannon) 0 5 10 15 20 25 Jan (n=5) Feb (n=5) Mar (n=6) Apr (n=6) May (n=5) Jun (n=6) Jul (n=31) Aug (n=43) Sep (n=40) Oct (n=8) Nov (n=6) Dec (n=2) 0 5 10 15 20 25 Jan (n=5) Feb (n=5) Mar (n=6) Apr (n=6) May (n=5) Jun (n=6) Jul (n=31) Aug (n=43) Sep (n=40) Oct (n=8) Nov (n=6) Dec (n=2) • Strong seasonal pattern in site use • Site use is highly variable • Suggests the SAC only represents a part of the range of the animals The dolphins are not always within the protected area !
  • 16. Long term shifts in ranging behaviour of a protected population… 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 Wilson et al. (2004), Animal Conservation 1990-1995 1996-2000
  • 17. 2016 data 28 dolphins estimated to use SW waters Are static MPAs the best approach for protecting bottlenose dolphins in SW coastal waters?
  • 18. Ecosystem based management – understanding dynamic influences on habitat use • Tidal influence on foraging
  • 19. Ecosystem based management & Indicators What does a decline in the indicator signal in the system? What is the appropriate response? Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Coastal bottlenose dolphins indicators for ecosystem status (GES)
  • 20. What does the future hold….? • Flexible MPAs? • Threat based management • Cumulative risk management • Dynamic ocean management
