Abstract
In 2021 an introduction to Integrated Conservation Planning for Cetaceans was presented by Taylor and Abel, who co-chair this team within the IUCN Species Survival Commission?s (SSC) Cetacean Specialist Group (SC/68C/SM/03). ICPC was formed in response to the desperate situation of increasing numbers of endangered riverine and coastal dolphin and porpoise species and populations. Here, we update the IWC SC on ongoing projects: 1) Atlantic humpback dolphins (Sousa teuszii)?a multi-faceted regional Conservation Action Plan; 2) Indus (Platanista minor) and Ganges river dolphins (Platanista gangetica)?Capacity Building for safe and effective translocation of entrapped dolphins ; 3) Franciscana dolphins (Pontoporia blainvillei) ? Health Assessment Project and Neonate and Juvenile/Adult- Rehabilitation Protocols; 4) Lahille?s bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncaturs gephyreus) ? Epigenetic Ageing Analysis; 5) Capture Myopathy ? Systematic analysis of Critical Data Gaps; and 5) Yangtze Finless Porpoise (Neophocoena asiaorientalis asiaorientalis) ? Steps towards a One Plan Approach.
