World Whale Conference 2017
As new partners, Southern Right Charters recently attended the 4th World Whale Conference in Durban.

Once back in Hermanus he updated the SRC crew on the latest information on responsible tourism for whales and dolphins. Which included: interesting stats from a recent Best Practice survey initiated by the WCA; insight from Prof Ken Findlay on his talk on recovering whale populations and South Africa receiving praise from Dylan Walker, CEO of World Cetacean Alliance, when describing the country as a “world leader” in responsible whale-watching.
