The European Association for Aquatic Mammals (EAAM) advocates for the welfare and conservation of aquatic mammals in both captivity and the wild. They emphasize responsible breeding practices, high-quality veterinary care, and comprehensive training programs. EAAM promotes scientific research and public education to raise awareness about these magnificent creatures and their conservation needs. The association firmly condemns inhumane practices, such as drive fisheries, and strictly prohibits membership for parks involved in such activities.
