World Whale Day is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about whales and their conservation. Celebrated on the third Sunday of February each year, World Whale Day serves as a reminder of the importance of these magnificent marine mammals and the need to protect their natural habitats.
The day was established in 1980 in Maui, Hawaii, and it has since grown into an international event. Activities and events on World Whale Day often include educational programs, whale watching tours, art and music exhibitions, and various initiatives to promote whale conservation and the protection of ocean ecosystems.
The aim of World Whale Day is not only to celebrate the beauty of whales but also to highlight the threats they face, such as habitat degradation, pollution, climate change, and whaling. Conservation organizations, marine biologists, and communities around the world participate in this day to promote awareness and encourage actions to ensure the well-being of these remarkable creatures and the oceans they inhabit.
