One of the best ways you can contribute to citizen/community cetacean science is to report your sightings! Sightings networks, often with the help of citizen scientists, collaborate from coast to coast to coast in an effort to track, match, and protect cetaceans in all of the world’s oceans. ⠀ We have a full page on our website with sighting sites all over the world - if you know of one that isn't on there let us know and we'll add it! And while you're on our site don't forget to submit your whale tale! 😉⠀ (link in bio)⠀ #whaletales #whaletalespodcast #whalepodcast #podcast #citizenscience #whales #storytelling #whalesareawesome #sharingiscaring #getonaboat #whalewatching #whalestory #whalelove #whaleblog #orcastory #killerwhales #orca #orcalove #orcablog https://www.instagram.com/whaletalesorg/p/CXMYPJvpkUX/?utm_medium=tumblr
