#Whaling season in #Iceland severely delayed, maybe finished(?) @savingoceans @MarineMammalCom @marinemammalogy @ORCA_web @orcanetwork @whalesorg_de @CWROrcas @IWDGnews @TheWhaleMuseum @Defenders @CetaceanSociety @gothamwhale @IFAWUK @oceana @MBSociety
The whaling season in Iceland was due to start tomorrow. Bravo to the Icelandic protests & to the Icelandic govt which has just issued a STOP order at least until 31 Aug. The fin whales around Iceland can now enjoy their summer. Let's hope this will truly be the end. Orig story

Wonderful shoreside images by @juarez_malia of Bigg's Transient orcas the T65As, T77 & T77E when in Bremerton area on Tuesday, June 27th. ❤️
We were at the park this afternoon and saw the Orcas checking out lunch options in Ostrich Bay. Still in awe over their beauty. 🤍
