Dear MARMAMers,
A new book on the conservation of cetaceans in the Mediterranean and
Black Seas, authored by myself and Alexei Birkun and with a foreword by
H.S.H. Albert II, Prince of Monaco, has been recently published by
ACCOBAMS in the occasion of the fourth meeting of its Parties. The book
presents an update on the presence and status of cetaceans in the
ACCOBAMS area, including details about the occurrences of all recorded
species, and how the threats to cetaceans in the region are evolving.
The book also contains a discussion of the most needed measures to
improve the conservation status of the region's cetaceans. We conclude
recommending that a strategic update be undertaken by the Parties to the
Agreement, stimulated by renewed political vigour, if the continued
existence of cetaceans in the region is to be assured.
