National Whale Day 2013

I was in Brisbane when I saw these two.

The first time I was awed by whales  were whale bones in the Sarawak Museum in Kuching.

National Whale Day 2013 - Saturday 01 June

1st June marks IFAW's sixth National Whale Day

What is National Whale Day?

Launched in 2008 by IFAW, National Whale Day is a celebration of the whales and dolphins that migrate to our coastlines annually and Australia's position as a world leader in whale conservation.

National Whale Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness of, and discuss solutions to, the threats facing whales and their environment including commercial whaling, threats posed from noise pollution, climate change, vessel strikes, marine debris and by-catch and entanglement.

National Whale Day 2013

This year’s theme is “The (not so) Silent Threat” and aims to draw attention to the dangers our whales face today from man-made underwater noise pollution.  Noise sources include seismic exploration, sonar technology, marine construction, dredging, seabed drilling and commercial shipping
