About us
Who we are
The World Cetacean Alliance is the world’s largest Partnership working to protect Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, also known as Cetaceans. Set up on World Oceans Day 2013, it launched itself as a fledging made up of a group of dedicated grass roots NGOs, passionate individuals, and commercial whale watching businesses desperate to make a positive difference for whales and dolphins. Fast forward five years and the WCA is already the world’s largest marine conservation partnership. Operating through our partners in over 40 countries worldwide, we focus on whales and dolphins as the iconic and inspiring animals with the greatest potential to encourage millions of people to want to protect our blue planet.
