International — People took to the streets in more than 50 locations around the world for the Big Blue March, voicing their support for the world's whales, and calling for an end to commercial whaling. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) opens in Anchorage, Alaska on the 28th May, and more than 70 nations will attend, to discuss the fate of whales throughout our oceans.

There were Big Blue Marches all over the world - in New Zealand and Australia, India, Argentina, Ecuador, Netherlands, Peru, Spain, USA, UK, France, Portugal, Columbia, Venezuela, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, Chile, Mexico, Morocco, Romania Sweden, Singapore, Turkey - the list goes on and on!

Over the last week or so, a "migrating human whale" has been making its way up America's west coast - from Mexico to Canada and finally to Alaska. After a Big Blue parade to Anchorage's Captain Cook Hotel - venue for the IWC - Greenpeace supporters took the green Alaskan grass to form a human humpback whale.
