While much is known about these impacts on common species, deep\u2010diving and elusive cetaceans like the beaked whale\n                    <jats:italic>Ziphius cavirostris<\/jats:italic>\n                    remain poorly studied due to their offshore distribution and brief surface intervals. This study reports a rare sighting of\n                    <jats:italic>Z. cavirostris<\/jats:italic>\n                    in the Western Mediterranean Sea exhibiting a significant dorsal laceration, potentially linked to human activity. The observation was made during a standardized ferry\u2010based monitoring survey in the Alboran Sea. We contextualize this sighting within broader data on anthropogenic threats to cetaceans, highlighting the underreporting of sub\u2010lethal injuries in offshore species. This case underscores the importance of opportunistic platforms and long\u2010term monitoring networks, such as FLT Med Net, in detecting and evaluating human\u2010induced impacts on rarely observed marine mammals. Our findings advocate for targeted conservation actions and improved mitigation strategies in high\u2010risk areas of the Mediterranean Sea to protect vulnerable cetacean populations, including beaked whales.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.71790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,11]],"date-time":"2025-07-11T08:09:32Z","timestamp":1752221372000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Out of Sight, out of Mind?
