The number of Humpback Whales increasing on Canada’s west coast is one of our recent good news conservation stories. This has also provided more opportunities for scientists and citizen scientists alike to study these fascinating marine mammals. In this webinar, Sherry Kirkvold shares some of what she has learned from her naturalist work and experience as a citizen scientist. She explains how we learn about the social lives of Humpback Whales by observing their cooperative feeding strategies, listening to the sounds and songs they compose, and by tracking their movements using tail identification.

We have a chance to spot these Humpback Whales on our Great Bear Rainforest tour in 2024. Learn more about the tour here: https://rb.gy/68nurt
