IUCN regrets to announce the resignation of Dr Tim Ragen from the WGWAP. Earlier this month, Dr Ragen announced that he will not be renewing his engagement for 2008.
Dr Ragen has made a significant contribution to the western gray whale conservation initiative since the establishment, by IUCN, of the Independent Scientific Review Panel (ISRP) in 2004. As Scientific Program Director of the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission, he was instrumental in getting the ISRP off the ground. He then assumed much of the responsibility for its review of oil spill risks and cumulative effects.
