Authors Summary
This report provides a summary of the Strandings Expert Panel Workshop held in the Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli, Venice, Italy from 8 to 10 May 2023. Participants included Strandings Expert Panel (SEP) members from a wide range of disciplines including national authorities from IWC member countries; veterinarians and veterinary pathologists; animal welfare specialists; biologists and academics working on aspects of cetacean welfare; and experts from animal welfare organisations alongside invited participants. The primary objectives of the Workshop were to agree on a strategy to implement the IWC SEP workplan and allow an exchange of ideas to support the work of the SEP. It was hoped that key tasks would be defined and allocated to enable SEP to move forward with the delivery of two priority areas for strandings response: emergency response and capacity building. A number of recommendations were agreed during the Workshop and are listed in the report.
