WHERE Falkland Islands
Summary
The Falkland Islands are rich in cetacean biodiversity. However, approaches to managing and protecting that biodiversity could benefit considerably from recent advances in knowledge. This project will translate the diverse cetacean datasets acquired over the recent decade, together with novel data elements, into a series of key outputs that will enhance the capacity of Falkland Islands Government and local stakeholders to conserve cetaceans, outline best practice mitigation options for industry, and to deliver effective cetacean stranding response within the Islands.
