Description
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is a swimming mammal found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Black Sea. They usually stay near coastlines and estuaries and come into contact with humans often. Net fishing is a major hazard, and man-made noise pollution can impact their hunting effectiveness. Targeted harvesting of this species for commercial purposes is now illegal in most places.
