urfers for Cetaceans: Our Current Initiatives
Whale Icon Project
The Whale icon project is modeled after, IFAW's Oceania Project call the Humpback Icon Project.
It allows costal towns to symbolically adopt a whale that is part of the local migratory patterns
by identifying markings on their tails.
Each town then names their whale and celebrates it as a means of creating community
awareness on cetaceans and the marine environment they inhabit.
In the lead up to the 2008 IWC meeting in Santiago S4C travelled to Chile to share information
on the sustainable and lucrative business of Whale/Dolphin Watch tours that could be adopted
in Chile in the same manner as S4C's hometown of Byron Bay.
The Visual Petition is a powerful statement to the world declaring that surfers, as a global
culture, will no longer stand by and let our ocean kin be murdered. Whales and Dolphins are
revered by surfers and ocean lovers all over the world, though a minority of humans are intent
on wiping out these masters of the ocean.
