Since the early 2000s, the ACCOBAMS Secretariat has been headquartered in the Principality of Monaco, at the heart of a diplomatic and scientific environment conducive to regional cooperation for the conservation of cetaceans and their habitat.
On the occasion of the recent relocation of its offices, the Secretariat had the honour of welcoming H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco for an official visit to its new premises. This meeting enabled the Secretariat team to present an overview of its missions, its ongoing projects and the concrete results achieved in the implementation of the Agreement.
The Report of the Joint ACCOBAMS-ASCOBANS workshop with navies on underwater noise and cetaceans took place on the 26 & 27 November 2024 in Toulon, France. The objectives of the workshop were to exchange information on best practice experiences and activities, to promote collaboration, and to discuss steps towards improved exchange of information. This joint workshop gathered national navies from the ACCOBAMS and ASCOBANS Areas, NATO, and a limited number of experts from the Joint Noise Working Group (JNWG) of CMS, ACCOBAMS and ASCOBANS, the ACCOBAMS Scientific Committee, ASCOBANS Advisory Committee, and the ASCOBANS Jastarnia and North Sea Groups.
