Whale and Dolphin Conservation's (WDC) mission is to educate people on the significant ecological role whales and dolphins play in the marine ecosystem, and inspire global action to protect them.<br>Saving whales is not simply ethical - it is essential to our survival! Emerging research confirms that whales play an integral role in our planet’s ecosystem, fertilizing the phytoplankton which produces at least half the earth’s oxygen, sequestering most of the ocean’s carbon, and forming the initial food base for all fish populations. Researchers from the University of Vermont concluded that the role of whales in the ecosystem is so significant, that their recovery can help reduce the impacts of climate change. Saving whales is a means to reduce greenhouse gases, sustain fish populations, and secure a healthy future for all.
