In this presentation we will address a range of topics from the federal laws and guidelines in place to protect whales
(Allison Rosner, NMFS), easy ways to put the guidelines into practice and continue operations without jeopardizing these protected
species (Regina Asmutis-Silvia, WDCS), and examples of current management and research efforts which will help us to protect
large whales in the future (Anne Smrcina, SBNMS).
