Dear ECS mail list members,
I am currently working on a paper dealing with the projected extension of the ASCOBANS Agreement Area. For those of you who don't know, ASCOBANS is the Agreement on the Conservation of Small Cetaceans of the Baltic and North Seas. Once the Agreement Area has been enlarged, it will extend to parts of the northeast Atlantic, and cover Irish, French, Spanish and Portuguese waters.I am therefore looking for information on cetacean abundance, distribution, threats and estimated by-catch rates in these areas, preferably scientific publications. I would appreciate it so much if anyone of you working on these topics could send me electronic files containing scientific articles. I might already have approached some of you. I am specially keen on articles on cetacean abundance and distribution off the portuguese coast, but I know that up til now not much research has been carried out in this area.
Thank you very much for your help!
Kind regards,
Irene
