The project aims to evaluate and improve methods for hunting marine mammals in the North Atlantic. The project will hold workshops to draw on the knowledge of hunters, academics and policymakers from the countries of the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland and Norway) as well as stakeholders in Japan, Canada and other countries. The outcomes of the workshops will be used to develop more humane hunting methods and to investigate best practices for improving and monitoring their impacts.In addition, the workshops will further the development of best practices and acceptable standards, as well as increase trust and cooperation among stakeholders.
