Pacific NGO, Whales Alive, says most Pacific countries are highly committed to protecting whales in the region, despite some backing the pro-whaling nations.
The International Whaling Commission is meeting this week in South Korea and Tuvalu, Nauru, Kiribati and Solomon Islands are expected to support Japan's call that it be allowed to kill more whales.
Ms Andrews says there have been years of effort to conserve whales in the Pacific and most countries in the region are overwhelmingly in favour of this process.
"Over the last couple of years, that project has seen the development of national whale sanctuaries across the Pacific region which now covers over 12 million square kilometers of ocean and it started with the Cook Islands, back in 2000 I believe, and after that we've seen a host of other countries like Niue, French Polynesia, Fiji, certainly Samoa, PNG and New Caledonia as well."
The topic is being debated and voted on at this week's International Whaling Commission meeting in Ulsan Korea.
