ORCA (Organisation Cetacea)

Great interview on BBC Radio 5 Live this evening by my fab colleague Kate Weston - McDowell talking about a kayaker in Chile being caught in a humpback whales mouth. The story sounds almost funny at first glance but it’s actually an important reminder of how big an impact even the smallest watercraft can have on whales - disturbance is a growing threat in many parts of the world and it can cause these animals to abandon important habitats and stress them out, along with physical damage from the vessels themselves. ORCA (Organisation Cetacea) are working hard with our partners to encourage responsible whale watching through the cruise industry and Kate is leading on that growing work area, so it’s great to get the message out about how important it is to be respectful of wildlife when we are enjoying time in their habitat! Thanks to Clare McDonnell for having us on the show and great job by Kate too! You can check out the story yourself at the link below - you can catch the story at around 2:26:48 - and as an added bonus even hear a little about where Kate’s marine conservation journey began 🐳 https://lnkd.in/emD4VfYc

As the only ORCA (Organisation Cetacea) boy I am lucky to work with a team of talented, passionate and inspirational women who every day dedicate themselves to protecting whales and dolphins, and the same applies to our network of amazing volunteers and Ocean Conservationists, so many of whom are just as inspirational as role models for girls and young women wanting to play their part in protecting our planet. This #internationalwomeninscienceday is a great opportunity to celebrate these wonderful role models and I can’t wait to meet the next generation of female science superheroes who are going through our different training programmes as we speak. Check out this great post with some of our fantastic volunteers and staff helping to protect whales in South Georgia and you will see what an important role our team are playing in safeguarding some of the most important habitats in the world #conservation #whales #dolphins #womeninscience #EveryVoiceInScience
