Happywhale, Happy Whale Watching

Whale watching is one of the greatest experiences you can have.  If you ever had the opportunity to see them in the ocean, these grand creatures leave you in awestruck.  It's a wondrous feeling to see them in their majestic form.

If you were also able to take a photograph of the whale, specifically the whale's flukes (tail) or dorsal fin, you can submit your photo(s) to Happywhale, a website that identifies and tracks whales around the globe.  This tool is a way to engage citizen scientists - including whale watching guides, whale watching enthusiasts, passengers - to help collect data about marine mammals.  The data will be used by scientists, and help expand our scientific knowledge about them.  By tracking and learning about whales, we can have a better understanding of marine life and ocean conservation.
