Dear colleagues,
I am conducting a review of the impacts of marine
debris on marine mammals. I would be very grateful for any information you
could supply in relation to this. In particular:
- Any case studies where cetacean populations
have been impacted by marine debris and action has been taken (successful or
not).
- Information from strandings networks
in relation to documented cases of ingestion/entrapment or other impacts of
marine debris (e.g. habitat degradation) on marine mammals, including where
possible the rates of prevalence of debris in necropsied animals, associated
pathology or mortality, the species of marine mammal and debris composition.
Please contact me by email at: sarahbaulch@eia-international.org
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
Kind regards,
Sarah Baulch
