North Sea porpoise survey boat sets sail from Suffolk

Help

A research boat has set sail from Suffolk in search of a species of porpoise found in the North Sea.

The aim is find out how many harbour porpoises are likely to be in the sea and to determine how they can best be protected.

The boat will criss-cross the middle of the North Sea over and over again as the mammals are surveyed.
