About ASCOBANS

Migrating cetaceans regularly cross national boundaries. Their protection can only effectively be achieved by means of international cooperation. The aim of the Agreement is to promote close cooperation between countries with a view to achieving and maintaining a favourable conservation status for small cetaceans throughout the Agreement Area.
