Australia's annual progress report on cetacean research to the International Whaling Commission

As a member of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), Australia is required to provide an annual scientific progress report summarising cetacean related activities in Australian waters over the previous calendar year. Each year, scientific researchers, state and federal agencies, and other stakeholders submit progress reports summarizing cetacean related information requested by the IWC. These reports are first compiled at the state/territory level before the Australia-wide report is compiled at the AMMC. We then submit the finalized report to the IWC Scientific Committee.
