Initiative

The Cetacea Treaty

A series of agreements and Cetacea laws to the attention of the International Whaling Commission, the United Nations and UNESCO.

Overview

Agreements and Cetacea Laws

Natasha Morley has drafted The Cetacea Treaty; a series of agreements and Cetacea laws to the attention of the International Whaling Commission, the United Nations and UNESCO. This includes installing conservation programs in partnership with the fisheries, indigenous peoples, local inhabitants, and registering the sites as UNESCO World Heritage and Biosphere Reserves.

The Cetacea Treaty and The Cetacea Livestream invite superyachts and all other maritime vessels to shut down sonar, electromagnetic radiation and echosounder when vessels know there are Cetacea and other marine animals in the area, and waiting until they have completely left the area before switching their seabed mapping and other systems back on.

The Cetacea Treaty and The Cetacea Livestream invite superyachts and all other maritime vessels to shut down all seabed cartography mapping systems, sonar, electromagnetic radiation and echosounding when they are in zones that have already been mapped.
