Over the years, The Dolphin Institute has worked closely with numerous individuals and offices at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These activities have included serving in leadership roles on the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary (Lou Herman and Adam Pack); serving as the State Co-Manager of the Sanctuary (Elia Herman); receiving several grants from the Sanctuary; producing reports for the Sanctuary, Residency Characteristics of Humpback Whales in Hawaiian Waters and Potential Threats to Humpback Whales in Hawaii; gathering humpback whale tail fluke identification images and biopsy samples for the international SPLASH research project that looked at abundance and populations structures of North Pacific humpback whales; and most recently working closely with Marc Lammers, now Research Coordinator of the Sanctuary, to better understand some of the functions of humpback whale song.

In early February, I received an email from a writer for NOAA Fisheries indicating that they would like to do a story for the NOAA website featuring some of the many collaborative efforts TDI continues to engage in with NOAA. I feel honored and humbled to have been asked (along with Marc Lammers and Lars Bejder at the University of Hawaii) to be part of a story for Whale Week on the NOAA News Webpage “Faces of Whale Conservation in the Pacific Islands.
