Best Answer

Porpoises live in the cold waters of coastal bays, tidal channels and estuaries of the Northern hemisphere. There are many along the east and west coasts of North America, the North Sea and the British Isles. They are most commonly seen along the continental shelf (about 6 miles off shore) and usually in water less than 300 feet deep.
