“…Th ese alternatives include the exception of "scientifi c research whaling, " which allows signatories to self-regulate the killing of whales for research under Article 8 of the 1982 convention (Bradford 2000). It also includes an attempted exception for "small type coastal whaling" (STCW), initially introduced to the IWC by Japan in 1986, which was rejected (Fisher 2016). Both exceptions created large controversies at the IWC meetings and more broadly.…”

“…Both exceptions created large controversies at the IWC meetings and more broadly. Japan's scientifi c whaling programs have been continually criticized by IWC member states and conservation organizations as a ruse to cover ongoing commercial whaling, and have been successfully challenged as such at the UN International Court of Justice (see Anton 2010;Fisher 2016). Th e unsuccessful negotiation if STCW hinged on the fact that this kind of whaling cannot be defi ned as noncommercial, but the confl ict has had major implications for traditional and indigenous cetacean hunters.…”

With the International Whaling Commission’s 1982 moratorium on commercial whaling in force, much of today’s cetacean hunting is done by traditional or indigenous communities for subsistence use. However, many communities continue to face pressure from other global stakeholders to stop. Informed by my research with marine hunters in Indonesia, this article combines scholarship from biology, philosophy, and law with global anthropology on cetacean hunting groups to explore a set of recurring arguments arising between hunting communities, management and conservation bodies, and publics. These include the role of charismatic species in Western imagination and conservation; how understandings of animal sentience determine acceptable prey; disputes about the authenticity of and control over traditional hunting practice; and the entanglement of cultural sovereignty and rights to animal resources. Bringing these arguments together allows for an examination of how the dominant global discourse about traditional whaling is shaped and how it affects extant hunting communities.

“…The conservation of marine megafauna populations worldwide is challenged by a suite of pressures, many stemming directly from human activity, including incidental capture in fisheries or bycatch , shipping strikes (Kraus et al, 2005;Panigada et al, 2006), direct harvest (Clapham, 2015;Fisher, 2016;Hofman, 2016), and contaminant exposure and accumulation (Law, 2014). In response to these pressures, research, policy, and education or conservation awareness campaigns regarding marine megafauna conservation issues have increased considerably (Authier et al, 2017).…”

Conservation of marine megafauna is nested within an intricate tapestry of multiple ocean resource uses which are, in turn, embedded in a dynamic and complex ecological ocean system that varies and shifts across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Marine megafauna conservation is often further complicated by contemporaneous, and sometimes competing, social, economic, and ecological factors and related management objectives. Advances in emerging technologies and applications, such as remotely-sensed oceanographic data, animal-based telemetry, novel computational analyses, innovations in structured decision making, and stakeholder engagement and policy are supporting complex systems and complexity-aware approaches to megafauna conservation and research. Here we discuss several applications that focus on megafauna fisheries bycatch and exemplify how complex systems and complexity-aware approaches that inherently acknowledge and account for the complexity of ocean systems can advance megafauna conservation and research. Emerging technologies, applications and approaches that embrace, rather than ignore, complexity can drive innovation and success in megafauna conservation and research.
