In honor of Ocean Week, we are excited to announce an upcoming webinar hosted by the Stop The Grind Coalition, we’re co-organizing with Sea Shepherd Global, and Whale and Dolphin Conservation on October 4th. This webinar will feature Alice Di Concetto, our Chief Legal Adviser, who will present on “Developing Supportive Policies and Regulations to End Whaling in Europe.”
As a member of the Aquatic Animal Alliance, the Institute co-signed a letter calling the United Nations to make animal welfare a priority of global ocean policy. The letter was presented at the UN Ocean Conference, which took place in Nice.
Grey wolves in Europe can no longer rely on strict protection under the Habitats Directive after a vote by MEPs today to downgrade them to “protected.”
The Institute has joined forces with 90+ organizations to call for a moratorium on deep-sea mining. This declaration will be delivered to the UN Ocean Conference in France in June.
