About Us
Hard To Port is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to marine conservation, headquartered in Northern Germany.
The organisation was founded in 2014 following a successful occupation of an Icelandic whaling ship in the Old Harbour of Iceland’s capital Reykjavík. Ever since Hard To Port has developed into one of Northern Europe’s most committed and impactful advocacy groups for whales and other marine wildlife.
