The Humpback Whale Ethogram Project: Developing a Behavioral Catalog using a Multimedia Approach
Since 1974, I have studied the behavior and ecology of the humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae. I have collaborated with other scientists and currently with Carol “Krill” Carson, a Visiting Lecturer in Biology and a marine biologist with the New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance (NECWA). With the...
