About PWF
About PWF
Pacific Whale Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 1980 to save whales from extinction. A pioneer in non-invasive whale research, Pacific Whale Foundation was also an early leader in educating the public, from a scientific perspective, about whales and the need for ocean conservation. Today, Pacific Whale Foundation has approximately 150 employees, including researchers, marine educators and conservation advocates. Our mission is to protect our oceans through science and advocacy. We are an international organization, with ongoing research studies in Hawaii, Australia, and Ecuador, and are active participants in global efforts to address threats to whales and other marine life.
Since 1980, Pacific Whale Foundation has pioneered educational wildlife watching and ecotourism in Hawaii through award-winning ocean eco-adventures. More than 3.5 million people from around the world have learned about ocean wildlife and marine conservation through these tours. Worldwide, our tours serve as a model for sustainable ecotourism practices.
