This National Whale Day IFAW is launching 100 days of action and we need your help to demand silence from Australia’s politicians! Man-made ocean noise is increasing around Australia’s coast. We need a long-term and coherent strategy to deal with this invisible threat. Tell the politicians to keep it down; whales need peace from their noisy human neighbours!

With your help, deafening seismic testing was delayed in the precious waters off Kangaroo Island, when Environment Minister, Tony Burke, recently decided further environmental impact assessments were required. Amazingly, though, the system allows the company involved to withdraw their application and simply submit a new one. That’s why we need your help again to get this second application refused and to protect this amazing marine environment, one of only three recognised feeding areas in Australia for blue whales and host to other whale and dolphin species, sea lions, sharks and tuna.

Tell the Environment Minister, Tony Burke, to uphold his previous decision and protect Kangaroo Island’s marine life, and the tourism and fishing industries it supports, from oil and gas exploration.

The Iceland Government has set up a committee to consider all aspects of whales and whaling in Iceland. They are set to review the impact of whaling on Iceland’s international reputation, as well as the possibility of a whale sanctuary. Please let them know that you support an official end to Iceland whaling and the establishment of a whale sanctuary in Iceland waters.

Each year millions of tourists travel to exotic locations to encounter wildlife, only to unwittingly bring home souvenirs made from endangered species.
