Exmouth Whale Survey

Pam and I have completed our 2009 photo-id survey of humpback whales in Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia. We travelled 462 nautical miles, sighted 169 pods and 417 whales during 3 weeks in September. We were able to photograph 378 whales including 92 mothers with calves. The images have been processed and will be added to the Centre for Whale Research's database for this Humpback population.
