Ocean Guardians (2022)
Visionary creates grassroots social enterprise to prevent whale extinction. Now the organization races against time to battle new threats using research, education and conservation methods to help sustain a delicate balance between humans and marine life
A Voice for Whales (2021)
A pioneer in noninvasive humpback whale research in the mid-1970s, Greg Kaufman founded Pacific Whale Foundation in 1980 to educate the public, from a scientific perspective, about whales and their ocean habitat.
Return to K’gari (2023)
Tucked away on the eastern coast of Australia lies a primeval bay where migrating South Pacific humpback whales find refuge. To sustain and grow vital noninvasive whale research, Pacific Whale Foundation (PWF) seizes this opportunity to develop a long-term study examining this population of humpback whales-where they migrate and how they use East Australia’s coastline. Today, PWF Australia’s ongoing efforts focus on the revitalization of a paradise threatened by climate change and unsustainable commercial tourism.
Rising from the Ashes (2024)

Our Conservation programs include single-use plastic reduction, beach cleanups and legislation advocacy.
We study and provide science-based solutions to incidental catch and entanglement of whales and dolphins.
We analyze impacts of rising sea-surface temperatures to better inform ocean conservation management.
