THE MARINE CONNECTION 

The Marine Connection works in the area of cetacean welfare; operating and supporting both national and international projects and campaigns which assist in the protection, welfare and conservation of cetaceans and their natural habitat. We work with governments, other NGOs and concerned parties to stop captures from the wild, direct kills and other threats to all species of cetaceans.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
