Report of the International Cachalot Assessment Research Planning Workshop, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, 1-3 March 2005

"The terms of reference for the workshop, developed by a steering group within the International Whaling Commission's Scientific Committee, were as follows: Identify and evaluate new methods, identify critical tests of such methods, and describe how these might be conducted, especially using combinations of new methods simultaneously; Identify relevant spatial scales and formulate plans for regional field studies to address key uncertainties relevant to an eventual In-depth Assessment; Develop a research program that would be necessary and sufficient as the basis for an In-depth Assessment of sperm whales, including research coordination and funding mechanisms"--P. 1.
