The Hellenic Trench in the Mediterranean is a key ecosystem for endangered sperm whales. Fewer than 200 of the majestic creatures are left alive in the area – and more die off all the time, often as a result of being hit by large ships.

That’s why it’s so important for big shipping companies to agree to change their routes to avoid this precious area and save endangered whales. And, incredibly, some companies are agreeing to do just that! Recently, a large international company called Arcadia ShipManagement put whale Conservation first by altering its routes to avoid the Hellenic Trench area entirely!

It is incredible to see a company show such commitment to ethics and morals by protecting endangered sperm whales. Now we must call on more organizations to follow suit!

Please sign this petition to urge Aegean Shipping to also reroute ships to avoid the Hellenic Trench!
