SC/68C/REP/03
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.
