Aquatic Adventures

Thank you so much for your interest in the Center for Coastal Studies and our Humpback Whale Studies program.

If you are here at the recommendation of Tom Conlin at Aquatic Adventures then you must have experienced the breathtaking magic of humpback whales on Silver Bank.

The Center has studied humpback whales for more than forty years.  Our particular focus is on the Gulf of Maine feeding ground, where our researchers know individual humpback whales by name; we know their mothers, grandmothers and even great-grandmothers.

We use our detailed knowledge of individual humpback whales to make scientific breakthroughs and advance conservation.  We also work with naturalists in the Gulf of Maine so that they can inform enthusiasts like you about the lives of these whales, the ever-increasing human-related challenges that they face, and the work being done to protect them.
