Certified and Candidate Sites
Whale Heritage 2021
This year has already seen new sites received their Certified status, and new locations beginning their journey as Candidate sites. Each site is unique, providing and contributing in different ways to the criteria for becoming certified. During this process, the sites have been receiving a wealth of tailored support from the WCA to aid them in achieving their goal of certification as a world class whale or dolphin watching destination!
