Sanctuary Ocean Count |
| |
|
Times, Location, Contact, Etc.: VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED! The Hawaiian
Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Count has become
a highly anticipated annual event. The Sanctuary Ocean Count project
involves counting the number of whales that can be seen around the
islands over a four-hour period, and recording their behavior. This
year, the Sanctuary Ocean Count will be conducted at 65 different
shore sites around O`ahu, Kaua`i, and the Big Island. Counts will
be conducted the last Saturday of January, February, and March. The
count enables the Sanctuary to look at whale population and distribution
and behavioral trends at different shore sites over the course of
the whale season and will also allow volunteers to learn more about
humpback whales. The Sanctuary can use your help in other ways as
well! Site Leaders are an essential part of the Sanctuary Ocean Count.
Site Leaders help to organize the volunteers at their site, act as
the point of contact for the site, and ensure that the data collection
for whale sightings and behaviors is carefully maintained. Due to
the importance of this responsibility, Site Leaders must be available
to participate in all three of the counts and must attend training.
If you would like to volunteer as a site leader, please contact the
appropriate Sanctuary Office. For their efforts, Site Leaders will
receive a free Sanctuary Ocean Count t-shirt. General volunteers will
be able to purchase a Sanctuary Ocean Count t-shirt from the National
Marine Sanctuary Foundation.
To register as a general volunteer for one of these dates, call:
Big Island 1-888-55WHALE ext. 253, Kaua`i 246-2860, O`ahu 397-2651

Sanctuary Ocean Count |
| |
|
Times, Location, Contact, Etc.: VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED! The Hawaiian
Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Count has become
a highly anticipated annual event. The Sanctuary Ocean Count project
involves counting the number of whales that can be seen around the
islands over a four-hour period, and recording their behavior. This
year, the Sanctuary Ocean Count will be conducted at 65 different
shore sites around O`ahu, Kaua`i, and the Big Island. Counts will
be conducted the last Saturday of January, February, and March. The
count enables the Sanctuary to look at whale population and distribution
and behavioral trends at different shore sites over the course of
the whale season and will also allow volunteers to learn more about
humpback whales. The Sanctuary can use your help in other ways as
well! Site Leaders are an essential part of the Sanctuary Ocean Count.
Site Leaders help to organize the volunteers at their site, act as
the point of contact for the site, and ensure that the data collection
for whale sightings and behaviors is carefully maintained. Due to
the importance of this responsibility, Site Leaders must be available
to participate in all three of the counts and must attend training.
If you would like to volunteer as a site leader, please contact the
appropriate Sanctuary Office. For their efforts, Site Leaders will
receive a free Sanctuary Ocean Count t-shirt. General volunteers will
be able to purchase a Sanctuary Ocean Count t-shirt from the National
Marine Sanctuary Foundation.
To register as a general volunteer for one of these dates, call:
Big Island 1-888-55WHALE ext. 253, Kaua`i 246-2860, O`ahu 397-2651

year, the Sanctuary Ocean Count will be conducted at 65 different
shore sites around O`ahu, Kaua`i, and the Big Island. Counts will
be conducted the last Saturday of January, February, and March. The
count enables the Sanctuary to look at whale population and distribution
and behavioral trends at different shore sites over the course of
the whale season and will also allow volunteers to learn more about
humpback whales. The Sanctuary can use your help in other ways as
well! Site Leaders are an essential part of the Sanctuary Ocean Count.
Site Leaders help to organize the volunteers at their site, act as
the point of contact for the site, and ensure that the data collection
for whale sightings and behaviors is carefully maintained. Due to
the importance of this responsibility, Site Leaders must be available
to participate in all three of the counts and must attend training.
If you would like to volunteer as a site leader, please contact the
appropriate Sanctuary Office. For their efforts, Site Leaders will
receive a free Sanctuary Ocean Count t-shirt. General volunteers will
be able to purchase a Sanctuary Ocean Count t-shirt from the National
Marine Sanctuary Foundation.
To register as a general volunteer for one of these dates, call:
Big Island 1-888-55WHALE ext. 253, Kaua`i 246-2860, O`ahu 397-2651
ext. 253
