WHALE SANCTUARY

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the recent announcement of a vast sanctuary for whales being established in the Mediterranean, which contains a wealth of marine mammals including sperm and pilot whales; recognises this as a major step forward in the preservation of whales from countries which still pursue whale hunting; and calls on the Government to support and promote more whale sanctuaries throughout the world in order to prevent the possible extinction of many kinds of whales and marine mammals.
