Vol. 12 (2022): Marine Mammals in the North Atlantic

The cover image shows a seal lying on a rock, by the sea.

This volume is based on an open call for new knowledge (from across all disciplines) relevant for the conservation and management of marine mammals in the North Atlantic. This volume 12 of the NAMMCO Scientific Publications is dedicated to Gísli Arnór Víkingsson (1956-2022), in acknowledgement of his contribution to the work of the NAMMCO Scientific Committee and cetacean research in general.
