Project Jonah New Zealand

Savings whales since 1974, Project Jonah is a New Zealand Charity focused on inspiring people to care for marine mammals and the oceans they call home. New Zealand has earned its reputation as the whale capital of the world due to the diversity of dolphins and whales found off our coats. Mass strandings of these animals are also common here, and Project Jonah's ambitious objective is to ensure well-trained and knowledgeable whale rescue teams are available to respond to every stranding. We provide training and educational material countrywide to equip boat users, DOC staff, schools, communities and individuals with the skills they require to identify whales in trouble and act appropriately. Education and community engagement are our specialties, and we are proud to inspire and empower New Zealanders to take action, by giving them the practical skills, understanding, and resolves to protect our marine life and oceans.
