Protection Of Cetaceans

EDM number 56 in 2000-01, proposed by Peter Bottomley on 07/12/2000.

That this House, recognising that there are over 20 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises in United Kingdom waters and that United Kingdom waters include the most important habitats in Europe for these animals; notes with grave concern the mounting evidence of threats to their survival from human activities including bycatch, noise, pollution and harassment; welcomes the launch of Dolphin Agenda 2000 at the House of Commons on 4th December by the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society with DIVE magazine; and draws attention to its proposals including the effective management of special areas of conservation and the development of a regional conservation plan for the Atlantic Frontier, and to the individual pledge form for those in a position of influence to sign and indicate their support.

This motion has been signed by a total of 133 MPs.
