It’s hard to believe that we are just a little over one week away from the 2017 Winter Whale Watch Week, but the calendar and the whales are telling us that the migration is beginning!

On December 9th Dr. Bruce Mate updated over 125 volunteers with the latest and most accurate information regarding the gray whales that will be swimming past our coast. The beautiful Oregon Coast Community College in Newport, OR was a great host and we had a blast!

These amazing volunteers traveled from near and far (some as far away as Wisconsin) to attend this class and they are now ready to help thousands of visitors see and understand more about the migration of the gray whales. Thank you volunteers!

Here at the Whale Center, we are putting the final touches on our 24 education kits and starting to get excited for next week!

Stay tuned… good stuff on the way!
