Cetacean Offshore Distribution and Abundance in the European Atlantic
This project will provide up-to-date estimates of cetacean abundance in European Atlantic offshore waters. Methods for monitoring small cetaceans in these waters will be developed and tested and a management framework developed within which information on abundance and monitoring can be used to assess bycatch and provide estimates of safe levels to managers, enabling targeting of mitigation methods on fisheries with bycatch in excess of the 1.7% agreed by ASCOBANS.
