Despite the fact that the MSC receives no government funding it is jumping from strength to strength. The official figure at the end of April was 1,484 labelled products. To give an idea of the acceleration a foot, it took the MSC around 7 years to get to the 500 product mark (by January 2007). It then reached 1,000 before the end of the same year and now, about 6 months later, is up to nearly 1,500 – exponential is hardly the word! |

Global Ocean supported CCC’s Campaign in Chile for the establishment of a whale sanctuary.
This campaign resulted in President Bachelet recently announcing the Creation of a Whale Sanctuary in Chile.
The proposal, promoted by Centro de Conservación Cetacea, Centro Ecoceanos and the National Confederation of Artisan Fishers (CONAPACH), will become the greatest marine environmental legacy of President Bachelet.
Barbara Galletti, president of CCC affirmed that “the announcement of president Bachelet is a public triumph on how, as an independent and sovereign country, we want to protect and use the cetacean populations that live in our waters.” |

Funded Ballena Azul of Nicaragua to participate at the International Whaling Committee (IWC) 59th Annual Meeting. Ballena Azul works hard to change the position of its government from being a pro-whaling nation to becoming a country inclined towards cetacean conservation. This year, Nicaragua will be attending the IWC meeting as a whale defending country for the first time. Ballena Azul will be present at the meeting as an observer to document the Nicaraguan delegate performance.
