The conference is taking place between 8-11 October 2019.\nWe are a member of the World Cetacean Alliance (WCA), the organizers of this conference, because we believe in responsible whale watching. This conference is very insightful and inspires us to <a href=\"https:\/\/worldcetaceanalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/WCA-Global-Best-Practice-Guidance-Whale-Watch-low-res.pdf\">continuously evolve our techniques and approaches<\/a> during the whale watching trips, whilst respecting the whales and dolphins.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DSC_4589-1024x576.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DSC_4589-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\nThe conference, so far, has had a mix of lecturers and a mix of public ranging from researchers including artists, whale watching companies, the aboriginal community called the Butchulla, and the local government. This makes this conference very diverse with many different perspectives from various stakeholders. The theme of this year is &#8220;Journeys that inspire change&#8221; and ideas are being shared during lectures, interactive workshops, and discussions.&nbsp;\n&nbsp;\nJust to give you an example of the theme, one of the messages today was about plastic pollution. Plastic is a large threat to our oceans and unfortunately predictions show that at our current behaviour and production of plastic, by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans. This is very worrying. To start a change, a suggestion is for every single person to collect 3 pieces of plastic every day.
