Whale Protection Status General Information Whale Protection Status(WPS) is something the Canadian Goverment refers to when they have an endangered whale species under protection. The majority of other countries in the world that contain whales do not use this. They allow just about everything to happen to the whales. Though, The Canadian Goverment protects whales in the following areas: St. Lawrence River, West coast of Canada (all the way up), Bay of St. Lawrence, and the north coast of Canada.
