Our blue whale adoption program, created in 1988, has contributed valuable funds needed to support field research on this endangered species each year since.
|
|
| |
The funds raised through this program all go directly towards the ongoing blue whale research in the St. Lawrence, Sea of Cortez, and Iceland.
|
|
| |
Our adoption program enables the public to follow the movements of individual blue whales through our field studies from year to year.
MICS now has 403 blues whales photographically catalogued for eastern Canadian waters, 96 from Iceland, and 24 from the eastern North Atlantic, photographed
predominantly off the Azores. The Sea of Cortez catalogue contains 375 individuals.
|
|
| |
Several individuals have been known for more than 20yrs and are regularly resighted in the St. Lawrence.
|
|
| |
Each adoption is for two years at a cost of $100 plus postage for individual foster parents or $1000 for corporate donors.
