One of the key resolutions focused on the Conservation of Beaked Whales, a vulnerable group of cetaceans that is particularly sensitive to human impacts. The resolution emphasizes actions to reduce threats such as underwater noise, bycatch, and pollution. It highlights the importance of enhanced monitoring, noise mitigation, and designated protected areas as part of a broader strategy to support beaked whale conservation. Overall, it underlines the role of international cooperation in protecting these elusive and ecologically important species. Photo © Andrea Izzotti / Adobe Stock
