Adopt a Whale


In 2007 I began an “Adopt a Whale Program”. For a donation of $50.00 you will receive a picture of your whale and the data sheet for it. It will be up to you to name it, though gender specific names are not encouraged (very difficult to sex a whale). The Whale can however be named in honor of a person… be creative.

If your Whale is seen again I will inform you of it and provide another picture and data sheet. Below is an example of one of the Whales adopted earlier and the data sheet.
