\u00c0 PROPOS DE NOUS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Projet Wise Whale<\/strong> was born from over 20 years of hands-on experience in whale watching and cetacean research. Founded by two marine biologists, the project is driven by a deep respect for the ocean and the life it sustains and offers an alternative. Rooted in respect, education, and connection, our experiences are designed to deepen understanding of marine life and foster lasting care for the ocean we share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were both working for other companies, over time, we reached a point where something felt missing. Despite spending our days on the ocean, we began to feel disconnected from what had first inspired us. We found ourselves bringing groups of people out to see dolphins and whales \u2014 not to learn about them, not to connect with them, but simply to entertain. It started to feel like we were driving a taxi on the water: taking passengers out, showing the animals, coming back, and repeating the same routine \u2014 day after day \u2014 while companies made large profits but learned little about the ocean or its inhabitants.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We witnessed many different ways of doing\u00a0whale\u00a0watching. In some places, it was done with deep respect, strong ethics, and clear codes of conduct. In others, unfortunately, it was purely about business \u2014 making people happy at any cost, even at the expense of the animals\u2019 well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous avons commenc\u00e9\u00a0Wisewhale.org,<\/a> our first work and website. It is a project created from the heart, to help people understand what lies behind the\u00a0whale-waching industry \u2014 how to choose responsible operators, what to expect at sea, and how marketing and profit-driven tourism can shape our expectations in ways that don\u2019t always serve the animals\u2019 best interests<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce voyage nous a amen\u00e9s \u00e0 faire un acte de foi et \u00e0 cr\u00e9er notre propre voie - le projet Wise Whale. Notre id\u00e9e \u00e9tait simple : retourner \u00e0 l'oc\u00e9an et faire les choses de la bonne mani\u00e8re. Cr\u00e9er des exp\u00e9riences qui permettent non seulement de voir les baleines et les dauphins, mais aussi de les comprendre. We want a purpose beyond profit<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to inspire a new approach to\u00a0whale\u00a0watching: one that values respect, education, and genuine connection over entertainment. At the same time, Wise Whale Project integrates real research. Every trip, every observation, and every encounter contributes to building knowledge, raising awareness, and protecting wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorsque nous emmenons les gens en mer, notre objectif n'est pas seulement d'offrir un spectacle, mais aussi d'\u00e9veiller la curiosit\u00e9, l'amour et le respect pour la vie incroyable qui partage cette plan\u00e8te avec nous. Nous pensons qu'une fois que les gens auront vraiment compris l'oc\u00e9an et ses cr\u00e9atures, ils seront incit\u00e9s \u00e0 en prendre soin et \u00e0 les prot\u00e9ger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car, en fin de compte, l\u2019oc\u00e9an ne tourne pas autour de nous \u2014 nous ne sommes qu\u2019une petite partie d\u2019un monde bien plus vaste, partag\u00e9 avec des \u00eatres aussi remarquables et aussi importants que nous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
