Global Dataset of Important Marine Mammal Areas - IMMAs (IUCN MMPATF)

Waters identified as Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs), candidate IMMAs (cIMMAs) or areas of interest (AoI). "Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs) are defined as discrete portions of habitat, important to marine mammal species, that have the potential to be delineated and managed for conservation. IMMAs consist of areas that may merit place-based protection and/or monitoring. ‘Important’ in the context of the IMMA classification refers to any perceivable value, which extends to the marine mammals within the IMMA, to improve the conservation status of those species or populations" (from https://www.marinemammalhabitat.org/immas/)
