Aquatic Mammals Working Group

CMS Appendix I and II list many migratory aquatic mammal species. CMS COPs have also adopted several Resolutions that cover aquatic mammals, their habitats and the threats to which they are exposed. The Aquatic Mammals Working Group was established in 2011 through Resolution 10.15 Global Programme of Work for Cetaceans. When Resolution 10.15 was repealed and consolidated into Resolution 14.9 at COP14, it reiterated the request to the Scientific Council to continue supporting this working group.
