The North Sea is also home to marine mammals. [[Common seal]]s, [[grey seal]]s, and [[harbour porpoise]]s can be found along the coasts, at marine installations, and on islands. The very northern North Sea islands such as the Shetland Islands are occasionally home to a larger variety of [[pinnipeds]] including [[bearded seal|bearded]], [[harp seal|harp]], [[hooded seal|hooded]] and [[ringed seal]]s, and even [[walrus]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ecomare.nl/index.php?id=4184&L=2 |title=Walrus |work=Ecomare |access-date=23 June 2013 |archive-date=2 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502205938/http://www.ecomare.nl/index.php?id=4184&L=2 |url-status=live }}</ref> North Sea [[cetaceans]] include various [[porpoise]], [[dolphin]] and [[whale]] species.<ref name="OSPAR"/><ref>{{Cite book |title = Whales and dolphins in the North Sea 'on the increase' |publisher = Newcastle University Press Release |date = 2 April 2005 |url = http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/item/?ref=1112607082 |access-date = 21 December 2007 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090101213218/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/item/?ref=1112607082 |archive-date = 1 January 2009 }}</ref>
