In celebration of World Ocean Day, the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Dolphin Quest released a 12-minute film.
The film showcases the migration of humpback whales from Alaska to Hawaiʻi, offering insights into this incredible journey.
Thousands of whales travel nearly 3,000 miles to Hawaiʻi each year to give birth.
"Understanding the biology and behavior of humpback whales is essential, especially now as changing ocean conditions threatens their habitats and migratory patterns," said MMRP Director Lars Bejder.
The video helps explain how their endurance and sacrifices are truly extraordinary.
The video features researchers documenting whale behaviors, collecting data, and photographing the rare traits of individual whales.
"Dolphin Quest is honored to support this research and help share it with the public," said Dolphin Quest Co-Founder Rae Stone.
This project combines the best of science, education, and conservation, making it accessible for everyone.
The film is available to watch online for free on the Dolphin Quest's YouTube channel.
