Common Standards Monitoring Guidance for Marine Mammals
(2005)
JNCC
This chapter deals with Common Standards Monitoring (CSM) for marine mammals on designated sites, including SSSIs, ASSIs and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs).
It provides guidance on the
identification of attributes and targets for marine mammals where
these are notified or qualifying interest features, together with
advice on monitoring methods, with specific guidance for the
following species:
- Grey seal Halichoerus grypus
- Harbour seal (also known as common seal) Phoca
vitulina
- Bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus
Currently, consideration is also being given to the inclusion
of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). Should
protected sites be designated, then guidance for this species will
also be incorporated.
