Dolphins, minke whales, harbour porpoises and a thresher shark have been spotted off NI's coast.

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs said jet skis and boats can cause injury.All species of whales, dolphins and porpoises, collectively known as cetaceans, are protected by law.

The department said its patrol vessel intercepted and cautioned a number of people after responding to reports of bottlenose dolphins being disturbed close to Ballycastle, County Antrim, on Sunday.Although cetaceans can be injured by propellers, it is believed they can also be disturbed by the high frequency noise of a vessel's engine as they use sound for communication.Among the weekend sightings, a pod of dolphins swam close to Portstewart Strand in County Londonderry.

They should also not be approached closer than 100m and contact should not be made for a period longer than 15 minutes.
