The Western Gray Whale Advisory Panel (WGWAP) was officially convened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in October 2006 to provide advice on western gray whale conservation with a focus on impacts from oil and gas development on the Sakhalin shelf in the Russian Far East. The Panel was disbanded at the end of March 2022 when the contract between IUCN and Sakhalin Energy Investment Company(Sakhalin Energy) expired.
