Recent Advances in Whale-Watching Research: 2008-2009

Abstract

Whalewatching research encompasses a wide variety of disciplines and fields of study, including
 monitoring the biological impacts of whalewatching activities on cetaceans and assessments of the
 effectiveness of whalewatching management and regulations, to the sociological and economic
 aspects of whalewatching on communities hosting such activities. This article is the latest in a
 series of annual digests, which describes the variety and findings of whalewatching studies
 published over the past year, since June 2008.
