The whale watch volunteers are involved in a variety of tasks, including
being spotters for whales, dolphins, sea turtles, pelagic birds, other
marine organisms, garbage, etc.. We have volunteers stationed to look 360
degrees around the vessel, ostensibly for whales, but for just about
anything of interest. Volunteers are also used to record data about a
variety of oceanographic and biological parameters, under the direction of
the naturalist. The volunteers play critical roles in our work. It's a
challenge, but well worth it
