Abstract
The workshop aimed to review existing knowledge on the contribution of cetaceans to ecosystem functioning based on two primary review reports and additional presentations. The objectives of the workshop were: (1) to summarize existing knowledge, (2) to identify data gaps, (3) to determine what can realistically and reliably be quantified at this time, (4) to identify geographical areas and species/taxa which are of special interest or which may not have been well studied, and (5) to prioritize a list of future scientific research to better understand how cetaceans affect ecosystem functioning.
