Cetacean Safe Handling & Release Graphics

In February 2023, WCPFC published new graphics illustrating 'Best Practices for the Safe Handling and Release of Cetaceans'. These guidelines form a supplement to WCPFC Conservation and Management Measure CMM-2011-03 for Protection of Cetaceans from Purse Seine Fishing. Note that the guide covers advice for both purse seine and longline fishing. Click here for the guide.
