Marine Mammal Protection Plan<br />

First version of MMPP was developed in 2001<br />

<strong>and</strong> was based on the world’s best available<br />

practice (Vers.08 is currently in force):<br />

• Establishment of navigation corridors for<br />

vessels<br />

• Prohibition to enter <strong>Gray</strong> whale feeding<br />

grounds<br />

• MMOs onboard every vessel<br />

• Vessel speed limitations<br />

• Minimum flight heights limitations<br />

• Special measures to avoid collisions<br />

• Regular revision of MMPP according to the<br />

most recent scientific information<br />

• Reviewing by WGWAP before adoption<br />
