One of the key partnerships that has significantly contributed to the establishment of the Whale Heritage Area (WHA) in San Antonio is the collaboration between WeWhale and Mundo Marino. This partnership has been instrumental in combining local expertise with international experience in marine conservation, creating a strong foundation for the WHA initiative.
WeWhale, with its extensive background in responsible whale watching and marine conservation, has already been involved in the successful establishment of the WHA in Tenerife-La Gomera marine area, one of the pioneering sites recognized by the World Cetacean Alliance (WCA). Their experience in promoting sustainable tourism practices, public engagement, and marine conservation efforts has been invaluable to our joint mission of protecting cetaceans in the Marine Reserve of Cabo de San Antonio.
Mundo Marino brings a deep connection to the local community, with years of experience in the nautical tourism sector along the Costa Blanca. By leveraging their fleet and eco-friendly tourism initiatives, Mundo Marino has contributed to promoting responsible marine tourism while enhancing awareness of cetacean conservation in the region.
Together, our two organizations have worked closely to ensure the WHA in San Antonio aligns with both local needs and global conservation standards. This partnership has not only amplified the visibility of the WHA but has also provided a replicable model for other regions seeking to balance tourism with sustainability.
