National Research and Conservation Priorities

The Marine Mammal Commission is holding a series of meetings with officials from the National Marine Fisheries Service in each of the Service's six regions. The purpose of each meeting will be to identify high priority marine mammal research and management needs in each region. The Commission will use that information to help it develop a set of national priorities for guiding federal research and conservation efforts for marine mammals. To date, the Commission has met in open session with the National Marine Fisheries Service's Northeast (7 August 2012), Southeast (25 January 2013), Southwest (29 January 2013), Northwest (12 March 2013), and Pacific Islands (26 March 2013) Regions. The Commission also met in open session with the Service's headquarters office on 12 April 2013.
