In the countdown to our 40th anniversary, we are featuring previous editions of our supporters' newsletter, highlighting our work exposing environmental crime and abuse
We have been documenting the annual Dall’s porpoise hunts for some 20 years, to raise awareness of the hunts themselves and their negative impact on marine conservation, taking our findings to meetings of the International Whaling Commission leading to several resolutions being adopted calling on Japan to stop the hunt
The Environmental Investigation Agency was born out of a ground-breaking whaling investigation and, almost three-and-a-half decades later, our Ocean work remains a central pillar of what we do
TODAY (December 2) is the 70th anniversary of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW), signed in Washington DC in 1946 and entering into force on November 10, 1948. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) was set up to undertake the business of the Convention, from offices in Cambridge, UK
The Iwate coast has been a focus of EIA investigations for the past two decades because it is the centre of the Japanese Dall’s porpoise hunt, with more than half a million porpoises killed in the past 70 years. We have repeatedly called on the Government of Japan to bring the hunts to an end
