Paragraph: 30
Marine mammal monitoring capacity remains inadequate for effective policy responses
Conclusion
Monitoring of marine mammals is difficult and costly. However, without sufficient monitoring data it is not possible to tailor a properly informed policy response to the challenges these animals face. It is therefore vital not only that support for monitoring programmes is increased but also that all opportunities are taken to make monitoring more efficient. We heard that increased use of technology and citizen science are two key ways in which to seek to achieve this.
