HRH Princess Pilolevu Tuita, Tonga's patron of whales, was one of 400 people to attend the Ocean Voices event at Auckland Museum. Tokelau this week declared its waters a whale sanctuary, the eleventh such designation in the Pacific. Ocean Voices caps a week-long meeting of international whale scientists, conservationists, funders and politicians in Auckland, NZ, and celebrates the 10th anniversary of the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium.
