The whole of the Southern Ocean was declared a whale sanctuary and despite a moratorium on commercial whaling in these waters, each year over 1000 whales are killed for the commercial market. In order to help secure the future of the whales, the WWF is developing an ambitious conservation programme for endangered species and populations.

The WWF Cetaceans Action Plan aims to ensure that by 2012 a significant reduction of treats to Cetacean populations that are currently endangered or are likely to become endangered, is achieved.

The Great White Adventure Centre support this programme by not only offering shark cage dives, but also whale watching trips.
