Abstract
Whale-watching research encompasses a wide variety of disciplines and fields of study. These include monitoring the biological impacts of whale-watching activities on cetaceans and assessments of the effectiveness of whale-watching management and regulations, as well as the sociological and economic aspects of whale watching on communities hosting such activities. This article is the latest in a series of annual digests, which describes the variety and findings of whale-watching studies published since June 2008.
