Great Whale Conservancy

Great Whale Conservancy (GWC) works to protect the world’s great whales with a special focus on saving the highly endangered blue whales. Our main goal is to reduce ship strikes on whales, one of the greatest causes of death and impediments to returning whales to their prewhaling numbers. Our vision is a world where many millions of great whales have returned to the seas, allowed to play their vital and irreplacable ecosystem role in promoting abundant marine life, healthy oceans, and thriving coastal communities. Healthy and abundant whales leads to a healthy ocean, less carbon in the atmosphere, and human well-being.
