Making homes for whales and dolphins

Every day whales and dolphins face becoming entangled in fishing nets, poisoned by chemicals, harassed, hunted, starved and evicted from where they feed, breed and take shelter. These long-lived, social mammals urgently need safe homes in the sea %u2013 protected places where they can raise their families, find food, rest and play.

I, the undersigned, demand that the leaders of my government, the governments of the world and the appropriate international conservation agreements work together to create a global network of marine protected areas (MPAs) for whales and dolphins, and other marine life and ecosystems.
