Visiting the Humpback Whales in the Bay of Banderas, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.....saw a LOT of whales......great boat trips.....mostly cloudy....and hardly any wind so did not get a chance to do the kite aerial photography.
But there are other very important parts of the research.....like uniquely identifying each whale by the pattern on its tail (fluke). Each photograph will have a GPS stamp on it so we can tie the location to the ID and things like water temperature, salinity, singing, etc.....yes they are recording the songs also....mostly the Males sing...here is Jorge reeling in the hydrophone that was put down about 15 feet below the surface to record the songs.

Cynthia,
Best of luck to you, Oscar, Jorge and Keith on your Research. We need as many "Sea Stewards"
as we can get. All marine mammals deserve caring
individuals like yourselves to help them with their
plight in our compromised waters.
Via Con Dios,
Gennaro
