Dear MARMAM Community:
The IMMA Secretariat and the University of St Andrews, with the support of Whale and Dolphin Conservation, are conducting a short survey to understand how Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs) have been used and their impact on marine mammal conservation, management, and policy worldwide.
We would like to ask you to please share your perspectives through a short survey (5–10 minutes), which explores:
- which IMMAs or regions you have worked with;
- how you have used them; and
- any outcomes or impacts resulting from your work.
Your input is very valuable and will directly inform our understanding of the global impact of IMMAs. Please note that responses will be anonymised and aggregated.
Participation is voluntary and all responses are confidential. For questions, please contact us at imma.shapefile@imma-network.org or gtb7@st-andrews.ac.uk.
Thank you so much for your valued contribution and support of the IMMA Programme
With best wishes,
Gill Braulik and Eafa Godson
on behalf of Erich Hoyt and Giuseppe Notarbartolo di Sciara, Co-Chairs of the IUCN Marine Mammal Protected Areas Task Force
