The SHBWC project has been developed thanks to the support of the International Whaling Commission (www.iwc.int) and its implementation has been assigned to Centro de Conservacion Cetacea (www.ccc-chile.org). The SHBWC software has been developed thanks to the original software provided by Mingan Island Cetacean Study (www.rorqual.com).
