This year’s meetings were held in Tromsø, Norway, from 25 to 27 March 2025, with representatives from all four NAMMCO member countries, as well as observer states and inter- and non-governmental organisations.

The Management Committees forwarded three new proposals for conservation and management to the Parties, alongside six new research recommendations, concerning both cetacean and seal species. You can read all the advice and recommendations here.
