and so much more!
We hope you can join us all year and help us save ocean animals by promoting the importance of Sustainable Seafood.
Join us to make 2018 the Year of SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD
Happy 2018 from all of us at WhaleTimes. Help us protect and save ocean animals. Whether you live at the beach or a thousand miles from the beach everything you do reaches the ocean. Many people are unaware of the importance of only eating sustainably caught seafood when they order or purchase seafood.
When you purchase sustainably caught seafood, you vote with your dollars and clearly tell suppliers, fishers, and others you care about dolphins, penguins, sea turtles, sharks, manta rays and want them protected.
Here’s more information:
