Ocean Conservation
Whales are vital to healthy oceans and a stable climate. Every year thousands are threatened by ship strikes, entanglement, and noise pollution. Together we can change that.
About the threat
Over the last two centuries, industrial whaling reduced many species to near extinction. While commercial whaling bans have helped some populations recover, whales still face grave dangers every day.
Ship strikes, fishing gear entanglement, plastic pollution, and underwater noise from sonar and shipping lanes disrupt whale migration, feeding, and communication.
Climate change is shifting krill and fish populations, pushing whales to hunt in increasingly dangerous waters closer to coastlines and shipping routes.
