Why Whale Heritage Sites are a multi-media delight!
In just five years the Whale Heritage Site (WHS) certification programme has generated a whale-sized chunk of news stories, features, discussions and presentations delivered across print and online platforms through video and radio, podcasts, webinars and more!
Whale Heritage Sites have captured the public’s imagination as an immensely positive news story at a time when people often feel overwhelmed with the state of our world. And we are proud to say that as more sites have come onboard, all of our Whale Heritage Sites have increasingly benefitted from exposure as they are name checked and linked to our expanding network of world class destinations where people have a proven respectful relationship with whales and dolphins.
Below we share links to some of our favourite articles, news stories, and short films about Whale Heritage Sites. Enjoy!
