As the third UN Ocean Conference draws to a close, WWF is encouraged by the commitments made in a number of areas, but warns that the measure of success will be in delivery.

WWF France is helping tackle ghost gear in the Mediterranean Sea. Their main goal is to help reduce the amount of lost gear in French Mediterranean waters by using an innovative and efficient way to locate ghost gear: acoustic sonar technology.

One of the busiest shipping lanes in the world puts Mediterranean fin whales in the direct path of the massive tankers, cargo ships, and high-speed ferries that criss-cross their waters.

Protecting whales is crucial to protecting healthy oceans for all of us.
