Marine Mammals
 
Description The charismatic marine mammals of Indian
waters which include the majestic whales, intelligent
dolphins and endearing sea cows are among the
least known of the marine living resources.
Lack of appropriate literature on identification,
nature of their habitat and restrictions on their
capture under Wild Life protection Act are some
of the constraints faced by researchers studying
these spectacular endangered animals. The recent
publication of the Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute, “Marine Mammal species of
India” is packed with vital information on all the
26 species recorded in the Indian Seas. The Institute
has been studying marine mammals since 1947 and
particularly from 2003 to 2012 as a programme
funded by Ministry of Earth Sciences.
