Why we need whale sanctuaries

World Update

Available for over a year

A new whale sanctuary in the South Atlantic is top priority at this year's International Whaling Commission. The project would involve creating a safe space, free from damaging human activity, for the region's whale species. John Frizell is an Oceans Campaigner at Greenpeace International; he told Rebecca Kesby why whales are so vital to the ocean ecosystem.
