GRAY WHALES COUNT

Coal Oil Point Reserve in Goleta, California, USA. The coastline runs east-west, with northbound whales traveling west, left to right across our Point towards Point Conception. We are able to track across 200 degrees from 80˚ to 280˚ magnetic. Unfortunately, facing east, south, and west, observers also track the sun across the day... From our inception we have embraced collaboration. We began as a research project of the American Cetacean Society-Channel Islands (ACS-CI) in 2004. Though we are now an independent, nonprofit corporation for research and education, we share with the American Cetacean Society their commitment to and enthusiasm for cetacean well-being.
