The Sustainability of Whale-watching in Scotland (2003)
Journal Article
Woods-Ballard, A., Parsons, E., Velander, K., Hughes, A., Ladle, R., & Warburton, C. (2003). The Sustainability of Whale-watching in Scotland. Journal of Sustainable Tourism, 11(1), 40-55. https://doi.org/10.1080/09669580308667192

Scotland's tourism trade grosses £2.5 billion annually and supports 180,000 jobs; whale-watching is an important part of this activity. Whales and dolphins are the country's number one wildlife attraction and with 11,770 km of coastline the potential... Read More about The Sustainability of Whale-watching in Scotland.

Can postlarval bivalves select sediment type during settlement? A field test with Macoma balthica (L.) and Cerastoderma edule (L.) (2003)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., & Richards, M. (2003). Can postlarval bivalves select sediment type during settlement? A field test with Macoma balthica (L.) and Cerastoderma edule (L.). Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 288(2), 279-293. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0022-0981%2803%2900023-6

Many soft-bottom benthic invertebrates display sediment-associated patterns of dispersion. Habitat selection experiments have shown that the larvae of some species can choose to settle in favourable habitats, and this process could establish patterns...
