What discussions has the Welsh Government undertaken to develop a gap analysis regarding the present research available to help develop a plan for remaining research needs with regards to the contribution of cetaceans to ecosystem functioning?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Climate Change
I recognise cetaceans have a role to play supporting the functioning of the marine ecosystem, as do other species. There have been no discussions undertaken to date to develop a gap analysis of research with regards to the specific contribution of cetaceans to ecosystem functioning.
However, the MPA Management Grant Scheme remains an option should there be a need to develop our understanding of pressures and threats to cetaceans, which enhances our management approaches within the network.
