Blake Moore, talks about Pacific Whale Foundation
from Cindy Paulos Hosted by Cindy Paulos
A talk with Blake Moore about the eco-programs at PWF. Pacific Whale Foundation’s Ocean Explorer spotted the first whale sighting of the season on October 8, 2018 at 8:08 AM, 2.4 miles North of Molokini heading towards Maalaea Harbor. TAt least 12,000 humpback whales are believed to migrate to Hawaii each winter, with their rate increasing at 7% per year. They travel from their northern summer feeding area that extends from Northern California to the Bering Sea, arriving in Hawaii to mate, give birth and care for their young calves. Humpback whales are protected by federal and state regulations, which prohibit vessels and other water-users from approaching humpback whales within 100 yards. More information on responsible whalewatching is available through Pacific Whale Foundation's Be Whale Aware guidelines through pacificwhale.org. Owned 100% by Pacific Whale Foundation, PacWhale Eco-Adventures offers top rated ocean eco-tours, including snorkel trips, sunset dinner and cocktail cruises, stargazing excursions, and Maui’s original and most award-winning whale watch. As a social enterprise PacWhale Eco-Adventures is a for-profit business that sells eco-cruises and eco-conscious retail items in order to help fund the mission work of its parent nonprofit organization, Pacific Whale Foundation - with additional funds raised through memberships, donations, charitable grants and in-kind services. https://www.pacificwhale.org
