Habitat Modelling on the Potential Impacts of Shipping Noise on Fin Whales (<i>Balaenoptera physalus</i>) in Offshore Irish Waters off the Porcupine Ridge

Little is known about the ecological importance of fin whales found year-round in southwestern offshore Irish waters. Understanding their ecology is important to reduce potential harm through any spatio-temporal overlap with commercial shipping and fishing activities. This study explored the potenti...
