Abstract

A special session on marine mammal research was held on the sidelines of the fourth International Symposium on Marine Ecosystem (MECOS4) at ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute. Amid growing concerns about the challenges faced by marine mammals along India’s coasts, experts called for the formulation of a National Plan of Action for Marine Mammal Conservation. A Bijukumar, Vice-Chancellor of Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies, who chaired the session, stressed the need for a national multi-institutional marine mammal network to coordinate research, monitoring, and conservation activities across the country.
