GEARING UP FOR SEASON #20

Season #20 is almost here! We are looking for local citizens to help sight the right and humpback whales that may venture into nearshore waters from St. Augustine Inlet to Ponce Inlet. We need many "eyes on the water" to find and report the the small number of these whales that may occur from January through March. Please print out the card below and carry it with you whenever you are on the coast. Join us for one of our informative talks, scheduled below.




If you are new to the Project and want to volunteer for the dedicated surveys, but cannot attend any of these meetings, please reach out to us at marinelandrightwhale@gmail.com to let us know.

Check back frequently (or sign up for email notifications to the right) for updates during the season.
