Twenty one species of cetaceans occur in various degrees of abundance in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Black Sea. This list corresponds to Annex 1 of the Agreement, with the addition of three species known to have occurred in the Mediterranean in subsequent times. The list also roughly corresponds to the species occurring in the Contiguous Atlantic Area, however we must caution that a considerable number of other species, commonly present throughout the Atlantic Ocean, may occur there. Furthermore, we note that the number of species which are known to occur in the Agreement area is likely to grow with time, as the attention of scientists and laypersons towards cetaceans increases, and considering that species hitherto unreported from the region may occur there occasionally. For this reason, in the Agreement’s Annex 1 it was stated that: “The present Agreement shall also apply to any other cetaceans not already listed in this annex, but which may frequent the Agreement area accidentally or occasionally”....Publisher or University
