Many maritime companies pride themselves on workplace safety, but are they 'whale safe'?

Many maritime companies pride themselves on workplace safety, but are they “whale safe”?

To date two SA companies have joined, one for aquaculture and the other for fisheries, but so far nobody is whale safe.“Due to SA’s long coastline and large population of humpback whales, it is a particularly important story to share in the region,” said Friend of the Sea spokesperson Alessandra Marra.

“Compliance is verified via a yearly external audit and [in some cases] the use of CCTVs on board vessels. This is true for both the whale safe certification and our more well-known fisheries and aquaculture certifications,” she said.
