For over 25 years Noel has been involved in cetacean conservation in South Africa through his Oceans of Africa programme which he runs with his wife Belinda. Together they have initiated a wide range of projects with the vision of instilling a better understanding of whales and dolphins and an appreciation of their fragile marine habitats.
We call on people around the world to join us in celebrating the great whales that share our blue planet, and to honour their right to live in peace in our oceans. (Noel and Belinda Ashton at the Sacred Ocean launch with Archbishop Desmond Tutu 2008)
