SSN Whale and Dolphin Working Group

The SSN Whale and Dolphin Working Group monitors international trade in both live whales and dolphins and their parts and derivatives. The Working Group provides technical expertise to Parties on the implications of such shipments and how CITES can offer better protection to species traded illegally or unsustainably. The Working Group’s recent efforts have assisted in the listing of the Irrawaddy dolphin on Appendix I and the amendment of the Appendix II listing of the Black Sea population of bottlenose dolphins to prohibit trade in live specimens for commercial purposes.
