New publication: "Hidden on the Edge: Franciscana Dolphins (Pontoporia blainvillei) Are Highly Overlapped with a Marine Protected Area at the Limit of a Management Area"
Dear community, It is with great pleasure that we share our recent short note: "Hidden on the Edge: Franciscana Dolphins (Pontoporia blainvillei) Are Highly Overlapped with a Marine Protected Area at the Limit of a Management Area," published in Aquatic Mammals (Vol. 51, Issue 3). You can access the article here: https://doi.org/10.1578/AM.51.3.2025.213 Our study provides the first spatial records of live franciscana dolphins (Pontoporia blainvillei) inhabiting the western portion of Ilha Grande Bay, at the northern limit of a Franciscana Management Area (FMA-IIa). The occurrence records of this elusive population are mainly within the boundaries of a Marine Protected Area (ESEC Tamoios), highlighting the critical role of this MPA in mitigating bycatch risks.
