Protecting Cetaceans - The role of CMS

Margi Prideaux from our YoD partner WDCS, the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, composed this document on the CMS and Cetacean Conservation. The document was published by WDCS in 2003.


It outlines the role of CMS and its agreements ASCOBANS and ACCOBAMS as well as the major threats faced by cetaceans during their migrations. The document also encompasses several species profiles and an overview of regional agreements or the potential thereof.


The document is available in four languages, English, French, Spanish and German (on the German website).
