The Pacific Whale Foundation recognizes the marine ecosystem as the most endangered environment on this earth. The mission of the Pacific Whale Foundation is to be effectively involved in research to understand the habitats and behaviors of the ocean’s creatures. During the Maui Whale Watching tour, your naturalists guide will share the goals and visions of the Pacific Whale Foundation. They are actively implementing programs to manage and maintain the South Pacific’s eco-system. Non-invasive and controlled techniques to gather data from humpback whales and dolphins are used by the Pacific Whale Foundation researchers. One of the most efficient programs used by the Pacific Whale Foundation researchers use is to swim close to a humpback whale or dolphin and snap a photograph underneath the whale’s fluke. The Maui Whale Watch naturalists will let you know all flukes are not the same. Each whale has its own special pigmentation pattern, shape, and markings offering the biologists a way to distinctively identify each whale; something like using a “fingerprinting” system. The whale then can be tracked and its behavior will be watched and studied over an unlimited span of time.

You and your family will learn that humpback whales travel over 3,000 miles on an annual journey from the cold waters of Alaska to the 75 degree tropical ocean water that surrounds the Hawaiian archipelago. Humpback whales travel to the South Pacific to breed and birth their young. The warmth of the ocean water is necessary for the newborn calves due to the fact they are not born with a layer of blubber needed to keep them warm. Another reason humpback whales travel to the South Pacific is because the waters are almost predator free.
