The Conservation of Whales and Dolphins: Science and Practice

The Conservation of Whales and Dolphins: Science and Practice

Editorial Reviews
The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
Experts from both the scientific and conservation communities provide contributions that, firstly, review the threats that cetaceans face in a modern world, some of which are now understood and, secondly, critically assess responses which have been made to these threats. The chapters reflect the diversity of opinion that exists in this field. Topics covered include pollution issues, habitat degradation, noise, global change, disease and the special case of the river dolphins. Apposite authors also consider the international agreements that affect cetaceans (including the International Whaling Commission) and the role of sanctuaries and action plans.
