This volume, the first special issue of the Journal of Cetacean Research and Management, traces the work of the IWC (International Whaling Commission) Scientific Committee on the issue of chemical pollutants and cetaceans. It culminates in the major research initiative, POLLUTION 2000+, agreed by the Committee and the Commission at the 1999 Annual Meeting held in Grenada.
