Integrating cetacean science into the conservation and management of Southern Ocean ecosystems – improving interactions between CCAMLR and IWC CCAMLR Scientific Committee Symposium, Virtual Meeting, 8 and 10 February 2022. Delegations of the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil and Germany, 2022 (Ref: 16906)
Category 3: Conference paper

As we learn more about the importance of cetaceans in the Antarctic, including their populations' recovery and needs as krill and fish predators, it is increasingly clear that cetacean science is vital for informing ecosystem-based management.

Using seabird and whale distribution models to estimate spatial consumption of krill to inform fishery management Ecosphere, 2022 (Ref: 16500)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ecosystem dynamics at the northwest Antarctic Peninsula are driven by interactions between physical and biological processes. For example, baleen whale populations are recovering from commercial harvesting against the backdrop of rapid climate change…
