An approach to using stranding data to monitor cetacean population trends and guide conservation strategies by Rachel L. Lennon, Rosie S. Williams, Kathryn J. Allan, Mariel T.I. ten Doeschate, Nicholas J. Davison, Simon A. Babayan, Andrew C. Brownlow

“…Species were clustered into broad ecological groups - baleen whales, short-beaked common dolphins, deep divers, harbour porpoises and pelagic dolphins - for spatiotemporal analysis of stranding patterns. All groups showed increases in annual stranding rates over the study period, with common dolphins and baleen whales exhibiting exponential increases, suggesting these species may be facing heightened pressures. …”
