UK Cetacean Conservation Strategy
Strategy to support the conservation and protection of cetaceans in UK waters, contributing to the UK’s vision for clean, healthy, safe, productive, and biologically diverse oceans and seas.
Aims
The Strategy aims to deliver the vision through identifying where action, informed by the best available evidence, could be taken to address the impact of pressures on cetaceans, noting our commitment to achieve and maintain GES in UK waters. These will be supported by underpinning research and monitoring, raising awareness and partnership working to tackle pressures and threats across the geographic ranges of these species.
The Strategy is designed to be an overarching framework that will assist in setting out where action could be taken to improve our understanding and address pressures and threats acting on cetaceans in UK waters.
