A heartfelt two thumbs up on the Bahriyeli Boat!

A heartfelt two thumbs up from our new friend who enjoyed a special journey on the Bahriyeli boat with her adult son. They were thrilled to spot a mother whale and her calf. These precious moments have created lifelong memories. We´re honored to facilitate such experiences while respecting the well-being of the whales and dolphins. The Bahriyeli has a strict NO CHASE policy. We Put Marine Life First. The Bahriyeli sails daily from Los Cristianos, South Tenerife for respectful whale & dolphin watching tours. Un sincero aplauso de parte de nuestra nueva amiga que disfrutó de un viaje especial en el barco Bahriyeli con su hijo adulto. Estaban encantados de ver a una madre ballena y su cría. Estos preciosos momentos han creado recuerdos para toda la vida. Nos sentimos honrados de facilitar tales experiencias respetando el bienestar de las ballenas y los delfines. El Bahriyeli tiene una estricta política de NO PERSECUCIÓN. Ponemos la vida marina en primer lugar. El Bahriyeli navega diariamente desde Los Cristianos, en el sur de Tenerife, para realizar excursiones de avistamiento de ballenas y delfines.

GOOD MORNING

30/04/2024

42 - The number of days before we depart on the JOHN PAUL DEJORIA for the waters off Iceland to defend endangered Fin whales from Madman Loftsson.

Our fleet is ready for action in the North Atlantic and the Southern Ocean.

Almost two years to recover from the hostile takeover that took everything away from us except for the three things that made us what we were and continue to be - our passion for defending life in the sea, our courage to intervene and the imagination needed to devise effective strategies and tactics.

Meet the Crew: Faroes

I’m an Environment Tutor, working with adults with a learning disability. I’m also an avid beachcomber; blogging about my finds and creating art with them. I have realised that the more people can connect with the sea, the more we will actively protect it. It’s the way forward, so I do what I can. From rock-pooling with school children, to taking historical finds into residential homes, promoting conversations and connections.

I first came across Sea Shepherd (now Captain Paul Watson Foundation UK) when they did a talk at Belfast vegan festival in 2018. I’m part of the Northern Ireland team of volunteers. We are out regularly cleaning our coastline and we proactively collaborate with local environmental groups, councils and education programmes. This year, we received funding to buy a quad to help with the removal of ghost gear.

This is my second year on campaign in the Faroe Islands. I was here last year when 99 bottlenose dolphins were slaughtered. The grindmen in Skalafjordur didn’t know the species they had killed. That grind came on the back of Faroese Pride and the morning after St Olav’s Day; a national public holiday in the Faroes. Coming from a place of celebration to a place of brutality and butchery was shocking. There are 18 killing beaches here, so we are always ready to go.

I wanted to return to the Faroes this year, to be part of a team documenting and reporting on any grinds. It’s important that we are here, otherwise these killings go largely unnoticed by the world’s press. Grinds can no longer continue under the excuse of tradition. There is no justification for killing these mammals and no shortage of food here. The meat is toxic and the Faroese will have to stop one day. We hope that day is today and the seas around these islands stay blue.

The sale of captive dolphins to aquariums is ultimately what keeps drive hunts profitable but not enough people know about the connection. It's why spreading awareness is so important! Help spread the word at bit.ly/TaijiFAQ
