The North Atlantic humpback whales are about to return from their winter breeding grounds in the Caribbean, migrating up the east coast back to the Gulf of Maine, as the New England whale watch industry gears up for their arrival.
The huge amount of data that is collected during the spring, summer and fall by our Humpback Whale Program and the whale watch companies that contribute data to the Gulf of Maine Humpback Whale Catalogue needs constant attention by detail-oriented and careful individuals.
If you would like to help contribute to this vital resource, you may be able to help with data entry and scanning. Comfort with computers and attention to detail are all that is required. Further training in matching whales using research images may be available for volunteers who become committed and skilled over the winter. You may visit the Center's website at www.coastalstudies.org/humpback-whale-research/ to read more about the Center’s Humpback Whale Studies Program.
