Marine Mammals
Within the Scottish Government, the Marine Biodiversity Policy and Sustainable Management Team (part of the Marine Management Division) has specific policy responsibility for seal management and the conservation and protection of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) found in Scottish waters. The Team also provides the Secretariat for the Scottish Seals Forum and its associated Working Group and plays an important role in the wider work of the Division.
