Return to K’gari (2023)

Tucked away on the eastern coast of Australia lies a primeval bay where migrating South Pacific humpback whales find refuge. To sustain and grow vital noninvasive whale research, Pacific Whale Foundation (PWF) seizes this opportunity to develop a long-term study examining this population of humpback whales-where they migrate and how they use East Australia’s coastline. Today, PWF Australia’s ongoing efforts focus on the revitalization of a paradise threatened by climate change and unsustainable commercial tourism.

Our Conservation programs include single-use plastic reduction, beach cleanups and legislation advocacy.
We study and provide science-based solutions to incidental catch and entanglement of whales and dolphins.
