Marine Mammals and KBAs

The identification of Australia’s Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs) was the focus of a workshop in Perth this February. Golo Maurer, Secretary of Australia’s KBA National Coordination Group attended to explore how to align IMMAs with existing and candidate KBAs. Since many IMMAs specifically refer to KBA guidelines, Australia can look forward to its first Marine Mammal KBAs in the near future.
