After the incident, the fieldwork was stopped. Only after an evaluation will it be determined whether the researchers can continue. The people involved say about this: “Only when we are sure that we can continue to do this research in a responsible and careful manner, and we can make the chance of such incidents as small as possible in the future. We are now going to analyze this with those involved in the full breadth in collaboration with independent internal and external experts, including the animal experimental commission (DEC)” and instance) “and the instance of Wagengeariments Commission” “” “
Criticism
SOS Dolphin in Anna Paulowna responded on Monday Distrantic to the message. There the question arose whether the investigation with sized porpoises can answer the research question. Wageningen Marine Research says:
“The ultimate goal of sendering of porpoises is to gain more insight into the habitat and behavior of these animals in the North Sea, as well as the effects of human activities on their well -being, so that better protection may be offered.
Transmitter technology is only applied when it appears that certain scientific questions cannot be answered in any other way. Transmitter data can provide very useful information; For example, a number of protected areas for porpoises are designated in Denmark based on, among other things, channel data.
The purpose of this pilot project is to investigate whether and how we can best sender these animals. We are now going to evaluate that further. “
