The Commission and Committee will meet in public session to discuss a broad range of marine mammal science and conservation policy issues and celebrate the 50th anniversaries of the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act. While these laws have achieved the recovery of some marine mammal species, others continue to struggle and face a variety of risk factors, including the impacts of climate change. Through the meeting, we will use case studies of threatened and endangered marine mammals to explore national-level issues related to stock assessment, health surveillance, and other management needs in a changing climate.
