MardeCetáceos (Sea of Whales) is an information network on management and non-lethal use of cetaceans in Latin America, whose goal is to facilitate the access and exchange of information on non-lethal research, whale watching, and regional conservation strategies.
MardeCetáceos defends the sovereign right of nations to the non-lethal and responsible use of cetaceans, promoting their full appreciation and showing the world that Latin America says NO to whaling.
1. All research projects must be conducted in non-lethal ways.

3. All activities must promote the conservation of cetaceans in their natural habitats.
