The status of the Whale Sanctuaries is reviewed by the IWC every 10 years, and the Indian Ocean Sanctuary has so far been reviewed and extended three times, in 1989, 1992 and 2002. ref http www.environment.gov.au coasts species cetaceans whale protection sanctuaries.html Whale sanctuaries Bot generated title ref Area The Indian Ocean Whale Sanctuary extends south to 55 S latitude with a western boundary of 20 E longitude by Africa and an eastern boundary of 130 E longitude by Australia.
