Overview
 Join a whale observation study in the Sea of Cortez, a World Heritage Site. This program is an amazing opportunity to assist scientists in an authentic research project and be an active collaborator in international conservation efforts of these migratory marine mammals.
Like Ahab minus the harpoon, you will spend five days and four nights searching the sea for whales aboard the boat Pez Sapo. You will learn how to identify varied species - blue, fin, and humpback whales, as well as witness pods of swimming dolphins - that migrate annually to this scenic body of water. You will contribute to the study and protection of these magnificent creatures.
This 9-day course includes instruction and activities on cetacean identification, biology and ecology, conservation biology, journal writing, scientific method, research techniques, kayaking, Spanish, and art.
