This
website provides information about humpback whales photo-identified in Clayoquot
Sound, Vancouver Island, British Columbia from 1995 to present.
We
published a humpback fluke ID catalog (left) in 2008 and the ID pictures and sighting
details are available online here.
This
website is a living archive and we invite anyone observing humpback whales in
Clayoquot Sound to submit their sightings.
If
you match a whale in the catalog, we will update the whale's record. If you photograph
a new whale, we will add it to the catalog. All data and photographs will be credited
appropriately. We are also interested in hearing about matches of Clayoquot whales
in other regions. |
