Introduction Regarding the four indigenous marine mammals of the Belgian Continental Shelf, the harbour porpoise is the most common species. It is, however, difficult to estimate the total population size which harbours our shelf during winter. But it is sure that our population is of minor importance on the international level. At the Belgian coast, the harbour porpoise seems not to prefer a certain area above another, although clearly avoids the shallower parts along the West coast and the heavily navigated lanes around the port of Zeebrugge.White-beaked dolphins are quite common in the Southern North Sea, but are rarely seen at the Belgian Continental Shelf. This also accounts for the harbour and the grey seals, which are real coastal inhabitants and rarely occur in open sea. Every winter, few harbour seals stay at the mouth of the Yzer in Nieuwpoort, occasionally some specimens are reported at other places on the Belgian coast. [details]
