The Blue Corridors Initiative
The Blue Corridors Initiative is a global collaboration dedicated to safeguarding the migratory routes of whales by harnessing the power of innovative visualizations and co-designed conservation strategies.
Our mission is to advance global whale conservation by building a collaborative community that uses data-driven insights, compelling visual storytelling, and science-based solutions. By addressing growing threats, mapping key migration corridors, and protecting critical habitats, we aim to support global biodiversity and ocean sustainability goals.
A digital approach to conservation through open data
Our new Protecting Blue Corridors digital tool integrates cutting-edge technologies to monitor and protect whale migration routes:
- Movement: Using satellite telemetry and other data to trace and visualise the long-distance movements of whales across the world’s oceans.
- Data Analytics: Analyzing decades of data to uncover patterns and identify key threats along migratory pathways.
- Digital Mapping: Creating dynamic maps that overlay whale routes with human activities to highlight high-risk zones.
These tools empower researchers, policymakers, and conservationists to make informed, targeted decisions to mitigate threats and implement effective protection measures.
