Cetacean Society
International
CSI is an all-volunteer, non-profit, tax-exempt conservation, education, and
research organization with representatives in over 25 countries. Our goal is the
"optimum utilization of cetacean resources," as called for in the 1946 Treaty of
the International Whaling Commission, through the protection of viable habitat
and the cessation of all killing and captive display of whales, dolphins, and
porpoises. We support and promote benign activities such as regulated
whale-watching, non-lethal and humane research, and widespread educational,
environmental and observation programs relating to free-roaming cetaceans
internationally. Our ultimate objective is the global acceptance of peaceful
coexistence and mutual enrichment for both humans and cetaceans.
