The story is about a guy that pilots a submarine and kind of shepherds whales and protect them from killer whales attacks. I don't remember much else.
Just it was a short story or tale and almost sure it's Philip K Dick's, but I can't find it looking through his work, so maybe I'm wrong.

Mentioned here; "i read a sci-fi short story once in which a 'whale shepherd' was dinking around in his little submarine protecting the 'herd' from sharks with his dolphins - that sort of thing - we could start doing that in a few years with no new technology but it's definitely sci-fi i'd say"

This is The Deep Range by Arthur C. Clarke, based on a short story of the same name.
Don Burley is a whale shepherd, keeping the herds safe from predators.
He gets unwillingly pulled off that job and asked to train the
mysterious Walt Franklin, a former spacer with some undisclosed past
incident that left him subject to panic attacks. The men eventually
come to enjoy a friendship based on mutual respect and shared
adventures in the deep ranges of the world's oceans. So you get plenty
of suspense, some tragedy, love stories, and another glimpse of a
possible future. The underwater scenes were breathtaking, even for me
who likes to stay on dry land.

@OrganicMarble - The question is a bit terse to be sure. And frankly, if I was going to write a story about a whale shepherd, I'd throw in a killer whale attack, so that's not much help!
