Cetacean Captivity is
CANCELLED

Over the last decade, we’ve seen a shift of attitudes to the keeping of whales, dolphins and porpoises in captivity – it’s time for this cruel practice to cease forever.

Join us in our mission for a DOLPHINARIA-FREE EUROPE.

WHO WE ARE

Dolphinaria-Free Europe (DFE) is a coalition composed of leading marine mammal scientists, animal welfare specialists, conservationists, NGOs, individual members, and advisors from around the world.

Our shared mission is to end the captivity of cetaceans—including whales, dolphins, and porpoises—across Europe.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We can only achieve our mission with the support of people like you from all over the world.

By spreading the word on social media through our Promise for Freedom campaign, you can help raise awareness and inspire others to take action. If you’ve witnessed cetaceans in captivity, you can make a difference by filling out our Share What You’ve Seen report.

Every voice matters. Together, we can work toward a future where whales, dolphins, and porpoises are free to thrive in the wild, where they belong.
