What do CRESLI whale watch volunteers do?

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
