These two meetings have created vital links and inspired ongoing dialogue between government agencies, scientists, and civil society organisations in the three narrow-ridged finless porpoise range countries. The knowledge exchanged in 2020 helped to catalyse more research into population status and trends, as well as trialling of porpoise excluder devices on the fishing gears that are associated with the highest levels of porpoise bycatch. Stakeholders involved in these meetings are also working within each range country to raise public awareness and institutional support for bycatch reduction. This public awareness will be critical if any market-based incentives to reduce bycatch are to be trialled.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?:
The range country stakeholders report that in China the Chinese White Dolphin and the Yangtze finless porpoise receive greater attention from both the government agencies responsible for conservation and the general public. They are working to raise the profile of NRFP as well.
