164-663: A Swedish-speaking area. From the middle 18th century to the early 19th century, only about a tenth of the population of the parish spoke Finnish. Ore deposits in Helsingin pitäjä had been discovered in the 1700s, but weren't utilized until Finland transferred to Russian control in the early 1800s. Ore extraction and processing lead to rapid industrialization in the area, with communities forming around locations like Tikkurila and Kerava . The industrial community in Tikkurila included an expeller pressing plant, which currently operates in

246-416: A coastal distribution that potentially brings them close to sources of pollution. Porpoises may not experience any toxic effects until they draw on their fat reserves, such as in periods of food shortage, migration or reproduction. An increase in the temperature of the sea water is likely to affect the distribution of porpoises and their prey, but has not been shown to occur. Reduced stocks of sand eel along

328-401: A high energy source. Some studies suggest porpoises are relatively sedentary and usually do not leave a certain area for long. Nevertheless, they have been recorded to move from onshore to offshore waters along coast. Dives of 220 metres (120 fathoms) by harbour porpoises have been recorded. Dives can last five minutes but typically last one minute. The social life of harbour porpoises

410-469: A less densely populated area to live in. The first apartment building groups were built in Tikkurila, Satomäki and Vaarala in the 1950s, after which rural flight sped up construction of apartment buildings. In the record year 1970, the population of Vantaa grew by ten thousand people. The Keimola Motor Stadium was built in 1966 along Finnish National Road 3, opposite the residential area of Kivistö , and remained in operation until 1978. Construction of

The beak is poorly demarcated. The flippers, dorsal fin, tail fin and back are a dark grey. The sides are a slightly speckled, lighter grey. The underside is much whiter, though there are usually grey stripes running along

574-515: A permanent population. The river Helsingaa soon gave its name to the entire area, and also inspired the coat of arms of Vantaa. The Helsinki socken was born from the 1370s to the 1390s, and the Church of St. Lawrence was built there in 1460. The church was located in a transport hub near the rivers of Vantaa and Kerava. Many roads also ran through the clerical centre: the King's Road from Turku to Vyborg and

656-633: A specific city centre. The Helsinki Airport , the busiest airport in Finland by far, is located in central Vantaa. In 2015, an extension to the existing railway line, the Ring Rail Line opened, providing service to the airport and new residential and working districts. Along the ring road, new residential were constructed. The largest of these developments is the Kivistö suburb followed by the residential districts of Leinelä and Aviapolis. The Ring Rail Line connects

738-543: A third of the area of Helsingin maalaiskunta were annexed to the city of Helsinki. The rural municipality lost two thirds of its population, including Malmi and Pitäjänmäki . In 1954 some of the areas of Korso in Tuusula and Kerava were annexed to the rural municipality of Helsinki, as well as a small part of Tuusula in 1959. Vuosaari was annexed to Helsinki in 1966. The population development of Helsingin maalaiskunta grew rapidly after World War II . Tikkurila became

820-409: A type of alcohol-free juice called Sorbus. The brewery horses carried malt products both to Helsinki and to the nearby railway station, continuing all the way to Tampere . The Pitäjänmäki brewery remained in action until 1914. In 1899, an edict about tightly populated communities came into force in Finland. During the next couple of decades, almost twenty tightly populated communities were founded in

902-537: Is a bilingual municipality with Finnish and Swedish as its official languages. The population consists of 71% Finnish speakers, 2% Swedish speakers (the lowest percentage out of any bilingual municipality in Finland), and 27% speakers of other languages, which is well above the national average. Vantaa has a rich history that dates back to the Stone Age . The area was inhabited by Tavastians and Finns proper until

984-570: Is about 335,000. In the Western Atlantic it is estimated that there are about 33,000 harbour porpoises along the mid-southwestern coast of Greenland (where increasing temperatures have aided them), 75,000 between the Gulf of Maine and Gulf of St. Lawrence , and 27,000 in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Pacific population off mainland United States is about 73,000 and off Alaska 89,000. After sharp declines in

Vantaa lies in Southern Finland and shares borders with Helsinki , the Finnish capital, to the south, Espoo to the southwest, Nurmijärvi to the northwest, Kerava and Tuusula to the north, and Sipoo to the east. The city covers a total area of 240.35 square kilometres (92.80 sq mi), of which 1.97 km (0.76 sq mi) is water. Vantaa's significant attractions include Vantaa River ( Vantaanjoki ), which runs through

1148-561: Is not very well known, but the entire Uusimaa area was still a sparsely-populated backland of Tavastia at the end of the Iron Age. The most researched Iron Age dwelling in Vantaa is located at the same site as the earlier Stone Age dwellings of Jönsas and Palmu. Remains of Morby ceramics have been discovered at these sites, and iron slag has also been discovered in Jönsas. Remains of fireplaces dating to

1230-412: Is not well understood. They are generally seen as a solitary species. Most of the time, porpoises are either alone or in groups of no more than five animals. Porpoises mate promiscuously. Males produce large amounts of sperm, perhaps for sperm competition . Females become sexually mature by their third or fourth year and can calve each year for several consecutive years, being pregnant and lactating at

1312-460: Is one of eight extant species of porpoise . It is one of the smallest species of cetacean . As its name implies, it stays close to coastal areas or river estuaries, and as such, is the most familiar porpoise to whale watchers . This porpoise often ventures up rivers, and has been seen hundreds of kilometres from the sea. The harbour porpoise may be polytypic , with geographically distinct populations representing distinct races: P. p. phocoena in

1394-498: Is probably a loan-translation of a Germanic word, compare Danish marsvin and Middle Dutch mereswijn (sea swine). Classical Latin had a similar name, porculus marinus . The species' taxonomic name, Phocoena phocoena , is the Latinized form of the Greek φώκαινα, phōkaina , "big seal", as described by Aristotle ; this from φώκη, phōkē , " seal ". The species is sometimes known as

1476-573: Is the best documented example. Thousands of porpoises were caught there until the end of the 19th century (it was banned in 1899), and again in smaller scale during the shortages that occurred in World War I and World War II. A similar, short-lived re-emergence of hunting during the world wars happened in Poland and the Baltic countries. Currently, the species is only hunted as part of the traditional Inuit hunt in

1558-561: The Mesolithic has been discovered in Jönsas, which was located at the mouth of a seaside bay at the time. In the Stone Age, people in Vantaa sought their food mostly from the sea. Seals were an important quarry, but remains of harbour porpoises have also been found at the numerous Neolithic dwelling sites at Jokiniemi . Remains of permanent dwellings found from Stenkulla in Hakkila date from

1640-537: The North Sea caught them by chance. A study published by the online journal of the Natural History Museum Rotterdam points out that conjoined twins in whales and dolphins are extremely rare. The vocalizations of the harbour porpoise is made up of short clicks from 0.5 to 5 milliseconds in bursts up to two seconds long. Each click has a frequency between 1000 and 2200 hertz. Aside from communication,

1722-508: The Treaty of Nystad was made in autumn 1721. A second, shorter invasion, known as the Lesser Wrath , happened from 1742 to 1743. Circumstances in Helsingin pitäjä started improving in the 1720s, as it became one of the most important centres of early industry in Finland. Water-powered sawmills were built in the area, forming a significant concentration of export industry at the time. This export

1804-558: The Treaty of Stolbovo , the Diet of Helsinki granted the rights of a staple town to Helsinki for foreign trade in 1617. The wars against Poland and Germany in the 1620s led to many large manors for the nobility being built in Helsingin pitäjä to support the cavalry , including Westerkulla and Hakunila . In autumn 1640, it was decided to move Helsinki from the Vanhakaupunki area to its current location at Vironniemi . The village of Töölö

1886-562: The University of Aberdeen in Scotland have also discovered that the local bottlenose dolphins attack and kill harbour porpoises without eating them due to competition for a decreasing food supply. An alternative explanation is that the adult dolphins exhibit infanticidal behaviour and mistake the porpoises for juvenile dolphins which they are believed to kill. Grey seals are also known to attack harbour porpoises by biting off chunks of fat as

1968-526: The Vanhakaupunki area in Helsinki never became the city centre Gustav Vasa wanted during his lifetime. In 1570, the 25-year Russian war also affected life in Helsingin pitäjä . Increased stress, additional military tax and enemy attacks had their toll on the population and often led to farmsteads being deserted. In 1577 there were 51 farmsteads burned and raided by the enemy. Serving food to and accommodating

2050-520: The 14th century settled in the area what is now Vantaa and named the river in the area as Helsingå or Helsingaa . The etymology of this name is not known for sure, but according to an old tradition it probably comes from colonists who originally arrived at the Hälsingland area in Sweden. Harbour porpoise Delphinus phocoena Linnaeus, 1758 The harbour porpoise ( Phocoena phocoena )

2132-538: The 1960s and 1970s, and the Ring III beltway was built to connect five national roads with each other. Myyrmäki became a second centre in the area after the construction of the Martinlaakso railway, which also sped up development in southwestern Vantaa. New residential suburbs were born along the main railway in the 1960s to 1980s, sped up by rural flight. Areas left outside the main traffic connections, such as Seutula in

2214-790: The 20th century, populations have rebounded in the inland waters of Washington state . In contrast, some subpopulations are seriously threatened. For example, there are less than 12,000 in the Black Sea, and only about 500 remaining in the Baltic Sea proper, representing a sharp decrease since the mid-1900s. Harbour porpoises prefer temperate and subarctic waters. They inhabit fjords, bays, estuaries and harbours, hence their name. They feed mostly on small pelagic schooling fish, particularly herring , pollack , hake , sardine , cod , capelin , and sprat . They will, however, eat squid and crustaceans in certain places. This species tends to feed close to

2296-633: The Arctic, notably in Greenland. In prehistoric times, harbour porpoises were also hunted in many areas, for example by the Alby People of the east coast of Öland , Sweden . The main threat to porpoises is static fishing techniques such as gill and tangle nets. Bycatch in bottom-set gill nets is considered the main anthropogenic mortality factor for harbour porpoises worldwide. Several thousand die each year in incidental bycatch, which has been reported from

2378-738: The Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, off California, and along the east coast of the United States and Canada. Bottom-set gill nets are anchored to the sea floor and are up to 23 kilometres ( 12 + 1 ⁄ 2 nautical miles) in length. It is unknown why porpoises become entangled in gill nets, since several studies indicate they are able to detect these nets using their echolocation . Porpoise-scaring devices, so-called pingers, have been developed to keep porpoises out of nets and numerous studies have demonstrated they are very effective at reducing entanglement. However, concern has been raised over

2460-567: The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals ( CMS ). In 2013, the two Baltic Sea subpopulations were listed as vulnerable and critically endangered respectively by HELCOM . Although the species overall is considered to be of Least Concern by the IUCN , they consider the Baltic Sea and Western African populations critically endangered, and the subspecies P. p. relicta of

2542-449: The Helsinki and Vantaa area in the 11th to 14th centuries, possibly even earlier. The Tavastians had fishing places and other pleasure grounds in the area. Prior to the name Vantaa being taken into use in 1974, the area was known as Helsingin pitäjä ( Swedish : Helsinge ; " Socken of Helsinki"). The rapids of river Vantaa were known as Helsingfors , from which the current Swedish name of Helsinki derives. Early settlement in Vantaa

The old word

3034-451: The Vantaa area was originally centred. The 650th anniversary of Vantaa was celebrated in 2001. The city grew rapidly starting from 1960s and a railway line was built to the western side of the city in 1970s. Since the days of the rural municipality, Vantaa has rapidly developed to its current form because of rural flight and good traffic connections. Like the neighbouring city of Espoo , Vantaa has many suburban commuter towns and lacks

3198-680: The area as the paint manufacturer Tikkurila Oyj . The capital of autonomous Finland was moved from Turku to Helsinki in the early 1800s and Helsingin pitäjä fell behind the growing population development of Helsinki proper. Helsingin pitäjä gained municipality rights in 1865 because of the first municipal law enacted in Finland, after which it was named Helsingin maalaiskunta/Helsinge kommun ("Rural Municipality of Helsinki"). In 1805 Helsingin pitäjä had 4840 inhabitants, Sveaborg had 4606 and Helsinki had 4337. After six decades Helsingin pitäjä had about 7000 inhabitants while Helsinki already had 23,000. The parish assembly meeting in 1823 established

3280-650: The area of Helsingin maalaiskunta . Of these, Huopalahti separated into its own municipality in 1920, Oulunkylä in 1921 and Kulosaari in 1922. With the exception of Tikkurila, all these communities were discontinued in early 1946 as they were annexed to the city of Helsinki. The tightly populated community of Tikkurila was discontinued together with the rest of the tightly populated communities in Finland in early 1956. Electricity started replacing steam as an industrial power source in Helsingin maalaiskunta before World War I . The power station Oy Malmin Sähkölaitos Ab

3362-497: The area of the branching point of the rivers in the 14th century. The history of Helsingin pitäjä stretches at least to the 14th century. For a long time it was thought that the earliest record of the area was as Helsinge in 1351 when king Magnus IV of Sweden granted salmon fishing rights on the river Helsingaa (now known as the river Vantaa ) to the Estonian Padise Abbey . However, according to current knowledge,

3444-566: The area was very watery and converting it to an airfield was difficult. The airport was taken into use in December 1936. Before this, air traffic in Helsinki had been served by the Santahamina Airport in Santahamina , which was also part of Helsingin maalaiskunta at the time. During the great annexation of 1946 the municipalities of Huopalahti , Oulunkylä and Kulosaari as well as about

3526-568: The church of St. Lawrence. The name Helsinge was first mentioned in 1428. In the same year, fishing rights in the area were moved over to the Archdiocese of Turku , which helped the construction of a stone church to replace the old wooden one. Justice in Helsingin pitäjä was the responsibility of its own district court. It is known that the parish had its own district court in the 16th century. The court could be held by deputies hired by high-ranking judges, so-called lawreaders. The use of lawreaders

The Helsinki Airport , situated in Vantaa, serves as the largest airport in Finland and the primary airline hub for the Helsinki metropolitan area. Companies headquartered in Vantaa comprise Finnair , Finavia , R-kioski , Tikkurila Oyj , Veikkaus , and Metsähallitus . Additionally, Vantaa is home to Heureka , a science center . Vantaa

3690-583: The clicks are used for echolocation. The harbour porpoise species is widespread in cooler coastal waters of the North Atlantic, North Pacific and the Black Sea . In the Atlantic, harbour porpoises may be present in a curved band of water running from the coast of West Africa to the coasts of Portugal, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavia, Iceland , Greenland, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and

3772-493: The collapse of herring in the North Sea caused porpoises to hunt for other prey species. Reduction of prey may result from climate change, overfishing, or both. Noise from ship traffic and oil platforms is thought to affect the distribution of toothed whales, like the harbour porpoise, that use echolocation for communication and prey detection. Noise from shipping traffic, particularly busy sea lanes, appears to instigate evasive behavior, with predominantly lateral movements during

3854-635: The common porpoise in texts originating in the United Kingdom. In parts of Atlantic Canada it is known colloquially as the puffing pig, and in Norway ‘nise’, derived from an Old Norse word for sneeze; both of which refer to the sound made when porpoises surface to breathe. The harbour porpoise is a little smaller than the other porpoises, at about 67–85 cm ( 26 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 33 + 1 ⁄ 2  in) long at birth, weighing 6.4–10 kg. Adults of both sexes grow to 1.4 to 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in to 6 ft 3 in). The females are heavier, with

3936-631: The day and deeper dives during the night. The construction of thousands of offshore wind turbines, planned in different areas of North Sea, is known to cause displacement of porpoises from the construction site, particularly if steel monopile foundations are installed by percussive piling, where reactions can occur at distances of more than 20 km (11 nmi). Noise levels from operating wind turbines are low and unlikely to affect porpoises, even at close range. Marine top predators like porpoises and seals accumulate pollutants such as heavy metals, PCBs and pesticides in their fat tissue. Porpoises have

4018-429: The east coast of Scotland, a pattern linked to climate change, appears to be the main reason for the increase in malnutrition in porpoises in the area. Overall, the harbour porpoise is not considered threatened and the total population is in the hundreds of thousands. The harbour porpoise populations of the North Sea, Baltic Sea, western North Atlantic, Black Sea and North West Africa are protected under Appendix II of

4100-667: The eastern seaboard of the United States. The population in the Baltic Sea is limited in winter due to sea freezing, and is most common in the southwest parts of the sea. There is another band in the Pacific Ocean running from the Sea of Japan , Vladivostok , the Bering Strait , Alaska , British Columbia , and California . The populations in these regions are not continuous and are classified as separate subspecies with P. p. phocoena in

4182-477: The first mention of Vantaa was in a document given by king Magnus IV in Västerås on 14 September 1331, describing episcopal tithes, requiring a pound of butter for the bishop from every citizen of age 7 years or older. Since the 14th century, the road between Turku and Vyborg , King's Road , has run through Vantaa. The road brought significant attention to the city, and its location on the salmon rich river led to

The parish assembly meeting and participation of citizens in keeping up the order was needed, because the state officials failed to keep the poor-mannered part of the people under control. Crimes not resulting in a court session were handled in

4428-522: The harbour porpoise population structure is more complex than previously thought, with at least three genetically distinct subspecies in the North Atlantic. Given the structure of the harbour porpoise population, the workshop delineated 18 assessment areas for the North Atlantic. The harbour porpoise has a global population of at least 700,000. In 2016, a comprehensive survey of the Atlantic region in Europe, from Gibraltar to Vestfjorden in Norway, found that

In the early 20th century, the majority of the population of Helsingin maalaiskunta was Swedish-speaking. Afterwards, the rapid increase in the population has brought much more primarily Finnish-speaking population to the city, and today only 3.1 percent of the population in Vantaa are Swedish-speaking. The roads in Finland were widened in

New residential areas consisting mainly of detached houses developed among the main roads and new suburban centres developed along the railways running through the area, such as Rekola , Korso and Koivukylä . In 1952, the new international airport of Helsinki opened in Helsingin maalaiskunta for the 1952 Summer Olympics , leading to the rural municipality becoming an important transport hub. The new airport split

Mortality resulting from trawling bycatch seems to be less of an issue, probably because porpoises are not inclined to feed inside trawls, as dolphins are known to do. Overfishing may reduce preferred prey availability for porpoises. Overfishing resulting in

Harbour porpoises tend to be solitary foragers, but they do sometimes hunt in packs and herd fish together. Young porpoises need to consume about 7% to 8% of their body weight each day to survive, which is approximately 15 pounds or 7 kilograms of fish. Significant predators of harbour porpoises include white sharks and killer whales (orcas). Researchers at

5248-618: The oldest was 17. Harbour porpoises were traditionally hunted for food, as well as for their blubber, which was used for lighting fuel. Among others, hunting occurred in the Black Sea , off Normandy , in the Bay of Biscay , off Flanders , in the Little Belt strait, off Iceland , western Norway , in Puget Sound , Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The drive hunt in the Little Belt strait

Interest towards a people's education increased in the early 19th century, when basic education still mostly depended on home tuition. By a suggestion from vicar Erik Crohns, a school was founded in Kirkonkylä in 1825 and a school master was hired. The year 1865 is considered a significant year in the history of Vantaa, as municipal rule in Finland

5412-443: The population was about 467,000 harbour porpoises, making it the most abundant cetacean in the region, together with the common dolphin . Based on surveys in 1994, 2005 and 2016, the harbour porpoise population in this region is stable. The highest densities are in the southwestern North Sea and oceans of mainland Denmark ; the latter region alone is home to about 107,000-300,000 harbour porpoises. The entire North Sea population

5494-652: The same period. There are considerably many findings from the Comb Ceramic culture in Vantaa. Many ancient clay figures representing humans have been found in Jokiniemi in Vantaa. They have been estimated to be of various ages from 5300 to 5500 years old. During the typical Comb Ceramic time, large amounts of flint were brought to Finland from the south and southeast, which was made into blades and points, as well as amber. The Comb Ceramic era humans also knew how to use bows and arrows as weapons. Iron Age history in Vantaa

When in deeper waters, porpoises may forage for mid-water fish, such as pearlsides . A study published in 2016 showed that porpoises off the coast of Denmark were hunting 200 fish per hour during the day and up to 550 per hour at night, catching 90% of

5740-512: The so-called second crusade to Finland and Swedish colonisation of the area. Remains of an ancient rectangular dwelling dating to 6700 to 6500 BCE have been discovered in Brunaberg in Vantaa. At the time, the dwelling was located at the seashore near the mouth of the Keravanjoki river. The dwelling had been used for decades, apparently mostly in wintertime. A graveyard-like dwelling dating to

5822-533: The throat from the underside of the body. Many anomalously white coloured individuals have been confirmed, mostly in the North Atlantic, but also notably around Turkish and British coasts, and in the Wadden Sea , Bay of Fundy and around the coast of Cornwall . Although conjoined twins are rarely seen in wild mammals, the first known case of a two-headed harbour porpoise was documented in May 2017 when Dutch fishermen in

5904-427: The west and Sotunki in the east, were left mainly unbuilt and rural-oriented. In 1972, the municipality was renamed Vantaa ( Swedish : Vanda ) and promoted to a kauppala ( market town ) (i.e. Vantaan kauppala/Vanda köping ). In 1974, the town got full city rights as Vantaan kaupunki/Vanda stad or "City of Vantaa". The name "Vantaa" comes from the river Vantaa running through the city, along which settlement in

The Swedes called the area Ny land ("new land"). There was permanent settlement in

6232-617: Was common from the late 16th century to the 1680s. Because of its poor location, Porvoo could not compete with the Hanseatic merchants in Tallinn , so in 1550 king Gustav Vasa decided to found the city of Helsinki at the site of Helsingin pitäjä at the mouth of the Helsingaa river. Helsingin pitäjä had already developed into a significant centre of marine trade in Uusimaa in the 1530s. However,

6314-462: Was designed by the provincial architect of the Häme Province , Carl Albert Edelfelt (1818-1869). The railway brought industry and induced population growth. The Finnish famine of 1866–1868 decreased the population of Vantaa by 1300 people, and population growth was very slow for a whole decade. Only in the late 1870s Vantaa regained its population from 1865. The elementary school in Kirkonkylä

6396-508: Was directed both to central Europe and also far way to the Mediterranean Sea in the late 18th century. A significant export target for Helsingin pitäjä was located just near its coast: the construction of the Sveaborg fortress, started in 1748, required large amounts of workforce and agricultural and industrial products such as foodstuffs, wood, brick and lime . Helsingin pitäjä was

6560-511: Was founded in 1910, and another power station was founded in Oulunkylä in the following year. Malmin sähkölaitos, which had reached a central position, bought a lot from Tapanila for its new power plant. Construction of the power plant and distribution grid, led by Gottfried Strömberg , was finished by the end of the year 1910. The Helsinki-Malmi Airport was built at Tattarinsuo in the Malmi area of Helsingin maalaiskunta in 1936. The soil in

6642-638: Was founded on 15 September 1869, four years later than originally planned. There were two teachers, one for boys and one for girls. Four important roads passed through Helsingin pitäjä in the late 19th century: Hämeentie, the King's Road , Nurmijärventie and Porvoontie. To the north of Kirkonkylä, Hämeentie leading north crossed the King's Road. The King's Road connected Turku with Vyborg and Saint Petersburg . The King's Road, leading northwest, started from Helsinki as an extension of Läntinen Viertotie (now known as Mannerheimintie ). Porvoontie connected Hämeentie and
