National Whale and Dolphin Research Workshops

19–20 February 2006

The National Whale and Dolphin Research Workshops were held on the two days preceding the National Whale and Dolphin Research Conference. The workshops focussed on future research needs for southern right whales, blue whales, humpback whales, minke and other large whales, beaked whales, dolphins and the impacts of noise on cetaceans. The workshops involved scientists working in the field to discuss current research, identify gaps in research and prepare points for discussion on the second day of the conference.
