about Us
Whale Guardians™ is the international project for whale ship strike prevention, dedicated to establishing approved shipping in order to help the world’s great whales recover toward pre-whaling populations.
To address this growing and lethal problem of ship strikes on whales, the Great Whale Conservancy (GWC) created Whale guardians™, the first ever interactive program for global Ship Strike Prevention and Mapping.
