Description:
Twenty one species of cetaceans occur in
various degrees of abundance in the Mediterranean
Sea and in the Black Sea. This list corresponds
to Annex 1 of the Agreement, with the
addition of three species known to have occurred
in the Mediterranean in subsequent times. The
list also roughly corresponds to the species occurring
in the Contiguous Atlantic Area, however
we must caution that a considerable number of
other species, commonly present throughout the
Atlantic Ocean, may occur there. Furthermore,
we note that the number of species which are
known to occur in the Agreement area is likely to
grow with time, as the attention of scientists and
laypersons towards cetaceans increases, and considering
that species hitherto unreported from the
region may occur there occasionally. For this
reason, in the Agreement’s Annex 1 it was stated
that: “The present Agreement shall also apply to
any other cetaceans not already listed in this annex,
but which may frequent the Agreement area
accidentally or occasionally”....
