The Committee reiterates the great value of the data contributed by the IWC-POWER cruises which have covered many regions of the North Pacific Ocean not otherwise surveyed in recent years. The programme addresses important information gaps for several species and has already contributed greatly to the Committee’s ongoing assessment work. The Committee endorses the report of the Steering Group (SC/69A/REP/03A; SC/69A/REP/03B) and recommends that the programme continues. Furthermore, the Committee encourages all Member Governments and Range States to support IWC-POWER either financially or in-kind to further enhance the value of the cruise. |
