ACCOBAMS is committed to take action on the much more that needs to be accomplished.
This 24 November 2021 celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the signature of the ACCOBAMS Agreement, established in 1996 under the auspices of the Bonn Convention (CMS).
The success of a mission is determined by the coherence of its objectives, its driving force, continuous work and indispensable resilience. During its existence, ACCOBAMS has been able to gather the resilience required to reformulate its approaches, thanks to a strong joint determination, as well as the unwavering support of the Principality of Monaco, which has hosted the Secretariat since its origin.
From 22 to 26 November 2021, the 14th Meeting of the ACCOBAMS Scientific Committee was held at the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco.
About forty participants were present, including Committee Members, regional representatives, representatives of the Sub-Regional Coordination Units (Mediterranean and Black Sea), various international organisations with actions related to cetacean conservation (ASCOBANS, IWC, CIESM, CMS, ECS, IUCN, Pelagos Agreement), ACCOBAMS Partners as well as many experts.
