Introducing Song of the Whale: A New Research Vessel for Marine Mammal Conservation

The video introduces the Song of the Whale, a specially designed sailing ship by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) to study and protect marine mammals without disturbing them. The ship features low noise technologies and was unveiled at a press conference with actor Pierce Brosnan advocating against commercial whale hunting. The ship will operate globally, using sails and noise-reducing engines to minimize impact on marine life. IFAW, with over two million supporters, aims to monitor whale populations and respond to emergencies, ensuring the conservation of sea life.
