Resumen:
The general aim of the Workshop was to obtain a better understanding of all aspects of the recent high mortality of right whales in Argentina. Towards this end, it brought together three groups of scientists: (1) local experts with direct knowledge of the ecology and marine environment of the Península Valdés region; (2) experts studying right whales in the region; and (3) international experts on whales and mortality factors such as disease and biotoxins. Specifically, the Workshop sought to determine the cause(s) of the recent high mortality and the implications of this mortality for the right whale population as well as to develop a future research and monitoring programme.
