The primary aim of this workshop is to determine how climate change is/may already be affecting cetaceans and how best to determine these effects. The workshop will bring together experts in cetacean biology, modeling, marine ecosystems and climate change. It will review current understanding and seek to improve conservation outcomes for cetaceans under climate change scenarios described in the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report.
