Whaling in the Faroe Islands is an informational initiative explaining the Faroe Islands’ pilot whaling practices, their cultural context, and the principles that guide them. The site presents whaling as a regulated, community-based activity that provides food, with pilot whale meat and blubber shared according to local customs. It outlines the legal framework, which requires hunts to be conducted with the aim of minimizing suffering, and provides information about population estimates, catch statistics, scientific research, and the history of the practice.

The website also explores the role of locally available wildlife in Faroese life and the importance of traditional food culture to modern Faroese identity. It addresses ethical issues, the whaling process, and common questions, while describing the islands’ natural environment and marine wildlife. International cooperation is another focus: the Faroe Islands state their commitment to working through relevant organizations on whale conservation, management, and research. The site serves as a public resource rather than a commercial product provider, offering background, explanations, and information about whaling and the Faroe Islands.
