COSEWIC assessment and status report on the harbour porpoise (Pacific Ocean population), Phocoena phocoena vomerina, in Canada .: CW69-14/736-2016E-PDF
"This species is found in the coastal waters of the eastern North Pacific Ocean and uses British Columbian waters yearround. It is highly susceptible to mortality by entanglement in fishing gear, and particularly sensitive to noise. Although surveys are too infrequent to determine population trends, there is ongoing deterioration of habitat quality due to coastal developments, increasing noise, and other factors which are unlikely to be reversed"--Reason for designation, p. iii.
