Whale Guardians™ is an international program for whale ship strike prevention dedicated to establishing Whale Guardians™ Certified Shipping in order to help the world’s great whales recover toward pre-whaling populations.

• Healthy Whales = Healthy Planet : Whales keep oceans thriving and help regulate the climate by storing carbon and boosting phytoplankton growth.
• The Problem : Hundreds of whales are unintentionally struck and killed by large ships each year, preventing some populations from recovering.
• The Solution : Whale Guardians maps shipping routes and whale sightings to identify high-risk areas, then provide tailored best practices to reduce ship strikes.
• What Whale Guardians™ Does : They make whale ship strikes visible, urgent, and solvable by creating co-occurrence maps, developing best practices, and partnering with the industry.
