Common use of Research and Monitoring Clause in Contracts

Research and Monitoring. Parties shall undertake co‐coordinated, concerted research on cetaceans and facilitate the development of new techniques to enhance their conservation. Parties shall, in particular: a) monitor the status and trends of species covered by this Agreement, especially those in poorly known areas, or species for which little data are available, in order to facilitate the elaboration of conservation measures; b) co‐operate to determine the migration routes and the breeding and feeding areas of the species covered by the Agreement in order to define areas where human activities may need to be regulated as a consequence; c) evaluate the feeding requirements of the species covered by the Agreement and adapt fishing regulations and techniques accordingly; d) develop systematic research programmes on dead, stranded, wounded or sick animals to determine the main interactions with human activities and to identify present and potential threats; and e) facilitate the development of passive acoustic techniques to monitor cetacean populations.
