Subfossil finds prove that this phenomenon has existed for thousands of years, although it is rare, and that several specimens may sometimes become stranded together (as has happened in 1403, 1577 and 1937 and, more recently, in 1994). The stranding on 18 November 1994 involving three sperm whales stranded near Koksijde and one towed to Nieuwpoort has aroused huge interest among the public and has raised several questions and problems as many people interpret this stranding as being the result of pollution or other factors related to present-day human society.","AbstractOtherLang":"Groepen van potvismannetjes komen soms in de Noordzee terecht en kunnen tot dicht bij de zuidelijke rand, de Vlaamse kust, raken. Daar stranden dan soms stervende of dode individuen bij laag water. Sub-fossiele vondsten hebben uitgewezen dat dit fenomeen zich reeds duizenden jaren lang voordoet, hoewel het zeldzaam is, en dat soms strandingen voorkomen van meerdere dieren tegelijk, zoals dat het geval was in 1403, 1577 en 1937 en, meer recent, in 1994. De gebeurtenissen van 18 november 1994, waarbij drie potvissen strandden nabij Koksijde en één op zee gevonden werd en naar Nieuwpoort werd gesleept, brachten een enorme volkstoeloop teweeg en hebben veel vragen doen rijzen, en problemen doen ontstaan. Veel mensen verklaren deze stranding namelijk als het gevolg van verontreiniging of van andere factoren gebonden aan de hedendaagse maatschappij.","BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Five centuries of sperm whale strandings along the Flemish coast","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":"sperm whale, strandings, marine pollution","Notes":null,"AnaPub":1997,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-02-23","DateCreate":"2000-08-24","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":788,"PubliDate":1997,"Pagination":"11-14","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"67","Issue":"suppl.","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":44202,"SerRR":"Bulletin van het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen.
