The mission becomes clear: “let’s encourage everyone to see whales and dolphins in the wild, and in a responsible way; to discover the world's whale watching operators . . . and rate them! A free search facility, a place to share amazing experiences, and a platform for everyone to use: whale watchers, operators, businesses and charities. Where all can be ambassadors for whales and dolphins”
