Description:
This paper presents a synthesis of mainly
published information relating to the cetaceans
of the Indian Ocean Sanctuary (IOS). It
highlights a number of new studies and other
initiatives linked to the Sanctuary and reviews
the current understanding of the biology of the
Sanctuary’s cetaceans.
Cetaceans in the IOS are exposed to a range of
threats, including by-catch and the effects of
climate change. Whilst no quantification can be
made of these threats at this time, they may still
be significant for the conservation of
populations.
The role of the IOS in stimulating research to
further establish the status of cetacean
populations is acknowledged.
