BlueVoice.org

BlueVoice.org is an ocean conservation organization founded in 2000 by Hardy Jones and Ted Danson. Its mission is to protect dolphins, whales and other marine mammals and to raise popular awareness about the plight of the oceans.
BlueVoice campaigns against the hunting of dolphins in Japan and to expose the harmful levels of toxins in the marine environment. Through production of films such as "When Dolphins Cry" and "The Dolphin Defender", BlueVoice has reached millions of people worldwide with its message.
BlueVoice work.
BlueVoice combines field research with dolphins, scientific and medical information with television and Internet productions, DVD and networking components to energize the public and governments to effect needed change. Latest efforts include the study of pollution levels and emerging diseases in marine mammals and humans. Correlations have been found between high toxic levels and incidence of cancer, Parkinson's disease, obesity, diabetes and other diseases in humans who consume marine mammals.
BlueVoice executive director Hardy Jones began working more than thirty years ago to stop the hunting of dolphins in Japan.
BlueVoice has published a White Paper entitled “A Shared Fate” – a fifty-page compendium of toxins in the oceans, marine mammals and human beings correlated with associated diseases.
In 2001 a BlueVoice live webcast of the slaughter of 40 pilot whales achieved 300,000 Internet page views and generated a massive international protest.
The NATURE/PBS film, "The Dolphin Defender" was seen by 4-million people during its first PBS broadcast in May 2005. The program has been rebroadcast repeatedly and is now in international distribution.
