We would like to ask you to submit any land and associated sea Areas of Interest in the African region that you think could qualify for Whale Heritage Site status in future.
Whale Heritage Sites are land and sea areas where people and cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) live close together, and where respectful and sustainable practices lead to responsible tourism, sustainable development, and the protection of marine species and habitats.
The aim of this survey is to identify sites that are judged to be important for cetaceans and for associated human communities that are partially dependent on cetaceans for their livelihoods. The results of this survey will be discussed at the Whale Heritage Sites Summit, Durban, South Africa, on 28-29 June 2017, and will form the basis for further dialogue and efforts to encourage the establishment of Whale Heritage Sites across the region.
We welcome your input and ideas…
