We need to stop the sinking of Wakashio into the Indian Ocean.

The Issue

We need to stop the sinking of Wakashio into the Indian Ocean. Local media in Mauritius began reporting on 18 August 2020 that the broken front half of the vessel would be towed 8 miles to the East of the island and sunk. The location in question is an area known as a famous nursing ground for whales and their calves, who are in the full swing of their migration from Antarctica in the midst of the Mauritian winter. Help us protect the whales.
