In total, 60 sightings of all the cetacean species were recorded during the photo-identification surveys and the ship-based line-transect survey, including common dolphins, 19; bottlenose dolphins, 19; harbour porpoises, 22.

It is designed to contribute to the implementation of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) by Ukraine, compliant with the best world practices, and it contributes to the MSFD Criteria D1C1-D1C5. The overall objective of the EMBLAS-Plus project is to help improve protection of the Black Sea environment. The effort is aimed to increase knowledge about abundance, population structure and local distribution of the Black Sea cetaceans. notPlanned Elena Gladilina Ukrainian Scientific Centre of Ecology of the Sea Primary contact el.gladilina@gmail.com Karina Vishnyakova Ukrainian Scientific Centre of Ecology of the Sea Primary contact karinavishnyakova@gmail.com NA NA NA Elena Gladilina owner Karina Vishnyakova owner Oleksandr Neprokin originator NA zd_2129 2025-09-11T15:55:24-04:00 dataset Vishnyakova, K., E.
