Program accomplishments

  • Southern Humpback Whale Monitoring Project, Gulf of Chiriqui, Panama: In 2024 we conducted 25 surveys between 29 July and 29 August and covered 1,914km. We sighted 120 groups of humpback whales, for a total of 234 individuals, including 61 calves. We obtained 86 identification photographs of humpback whales, representing 83 individuals. We collected 116 humpback whale tissue samples to be used for genetic and hormone analysis. We also dedicated 7 days to Bryde's whales and made 6 Bryde's whale sightings and collected 1 Bryde's whale tissue sample. We conducted two community outreach talks to educate local naturalists and captains about best practices for whale watching, and one talk to a local community to educate them on marine conservation issues. The team included two biologists from the US, one from Mexico, one from Panama, and two student interns from the US.
    Expenses $31,459
  • Marine Mammal Tagging Project, Gulf of Chiriqui, Panama: In 2024 we initiated our tagging program using CATS (Customised Animal Tracking Solutions) tags. All necessary equipment was purchased, and protocols were established. In August 2024 we successfully attached a tag to a mother humpback whale for 2.5 hours. We also attempted to attach a tag to a Bryde's whale but were unsuccessful. In 2024 we also purchased equipment for Low Impact Minimally Percutaneous Electronic Transmitter (LIMPET) tags, although no field work with these tags was conducted.
