Help Humpbacks

Humpback whales are magnificent creatures that have graced our oceans for millions of years. They were nearly driven to extinction by commercial whalers 50 years ago, but today, because of an international ban on whaling, are making a slow but steady recovery. Yet humpbacks still face many threats including ocean debris, increasing shipping traffic, and the effects of climate change on their habitat. You can help the humpbacks of the world by supporting organizations dedicated to whale conservation and ocean education.

You can help humpback whales around the world by making a donation to our conservation partners:
