SCANS-II: Major International Survey of Whales, Dolphins & Porpoises

Ships and aircraft have taken to European waters for the month of July 2005 as part of the largest ever international survey of whales, dolphins and porpoises.

Coordinated by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) at the University of St Andrews, seven ships and three aircraft will conduct an intensive survey of the European Atlantic continental shelf to map the distribution and estimate the abundance of the whales, dolphins and porpoises, collectively known as cetaceans, that live in these waters.
