New Marine Mammal Area
Smithsonian Science Drives Establishment of New Important Marine Mammal Area in Ecuador
Diciembre 22, 2022
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s Marine Mammal Protected Areas Task force invites groups of marine biologists to propose Important Marine Mammal Areas. The new IMMA along the Ecuadorian coast proposed by STRI’s Hector Guzman and colleagues will lead to a cascade of scientific activities designed to protect not only marine mammals, but their entire habitat.
