31 July 2024: The report of the June meeting of the Working Group on Enhancing User Involvement in NAMMCO Decision Making (UIWG)

The NAMMCO Working Group on Enhancing User Involvement in NAMMCO Decision Making (UIWG) held an online meeting on June 25, 2024, and the report is now available online. During the meeting the participants continued the discussions on how to successfully involve and better engage users in the process of marine mammal management.

The group discussed actions that the UIWG and other NAMMCO bodies could recommend such as adding “User Knowledge” as a regular agenda item in Scientific Committee working group meetings, developing a tool for documenting non-hunting observations, compiling relevant literature on user involvement, and broadening the expertise within UIWG to include social scientists.
