The IUCN IMMA layer contains information, which describes indicates discrete portions of habitat, important to marine mammal species that have the potential to be delineated and managed for conservation. The information described include the name, location, marine mammal species of importance, the broad level, and finer sub-divisions criteria used, and the area size of the IMMA. The IUCN IMMA layer has been created to be compatible with and inform the identification of other area-based management tools and conservation prioritisation areas and include but is not restricted to Ecologically or Biologically Significant Area (EBSA), Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA), Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA), RAMSAR Convention Site (RAMSAR), Cetacean Critical Habitat (CCH), Biologically Important Area (BIA). IMMAs consist of areas that may merit place-based protection and/or monitoring and may be considered as a marine mammal layer indicative of biodiversity and potentially ecosystem health for consideration by governments, intergovernmental organisations, conservation groups, and the general public.

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;"><SPAN>The IUCN IMMA dataset is not necessarily a complete representation of all the important areas that have been identified for a region; the quality of the IUCN IMMA depends on the accessibility of accurate, comprehensive, up-to-date expert information from data and knowledge holders. Other regions not currently assessed within the IUCN IMMA will be addressed in future regional expert workshops. New information will be assessed on a decadal basis to determine new IMMAs in the region or reexamine existing IMMAs.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
