Together, @oceanauk.bsky.social + @zslofficial.bsky.social examined research on harm to wildlife from 1000s of oil spills in UK waters, finding evidence of: - lung lesions in bottlenose dolphins - harm to the livers of minke whales - orcas + dolphins less able to successfully reproduce

Big Oil is wrecking our seas & marine life is paying the price 🐬 We're working with scientists to lift the lid on the oil & gas industry’s dirty secrets, using marine strandings to expose the truth. The data will speak for the animals that can’t. 🚫 End new oil & gas: https://bit.ly/490ZLPq

🚨 NEW PUBLICATION! 🐳🎉 Our new review paper, now published in Mammal Review, maps the the literature focusing on threats to 19 marine mammal species, to summarise volume of research, and highlight knowledge gaps (for species, locations, threats). Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/mam....

Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between ....
