Program accomplishments
- Investigating call function in North Pacific humpback whales through conspecific playbacks.

This is an ongoing project.Expenses $1,000 · grants $1,000

- Save the Whales 2.0: investigating the relationship between the Pacific marine heatwave and subsequent humpback whale die-off and song complexity.
