Keep your friends close and your mother closer
Did you know humpback whale calves stay near their mothers for up to one year before weaning? Mothers are protective of their calves, swimming closely and often touching them with their flippers. In the long-term, calves are likely to be found in the same feeding and breeding areas as their mothers.
Happy Mother’s Day from your National Marine Sanctuary System!

We’re sharing some of our favorite National Volunteer Month features from recent years. 2017’s two-part web story how citizen science and other volunteer programs help engage the public in the care of their national marine sanctuaries.
These volunteers are involved in Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary’s Sanctuary Ocean Count, which offers the community a chance to monitor humpback whales from the shores of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi and Kauaʻi.

We’re sharing some of our favorite National Volunteer Month features from recent years. 2020’s profiles showcased just a few of our 12,000 outstanding volunteers.
In this photo, volunteers with Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary participate in the Sanctuary Ocean Count to keep track of visiting humpback whales.

Humpbacks, known scientifically as Megaptera novaeangliae, are famous for their singing and surface behaviors such as breaching. Though hunted to near extinction, populations have partially recovered, but these beautiful beings continue to be impacted by noise pollution and run ins with ships and fishing gear. All ocean life needs our protection! Support governmental agencies such as NOAA Fisheries to ensure the continued recovery of humpbacks.
This ink and marker painting, titled ‘Blue Song,’ was made for a fellow whale lover. I suspect my patronus would be a humpback whale. What is yours?

“We sent whalesong into interstellar space because the creatures that sing these songs are superlative beings that fill us with awe, terror, and affection.” I received this literally stunning piece from @nicotraditional a couple of months ago. I haven’t posted it, because I respect the art so much that it’s difficult to find a photo that does it justice. I love my space whale so much. #humpbackwhale #space #spacetattoo #whaletattoo #vancouvertattoo #vancouvertattooartist #tattoo #sealife #forearmtattoo #blackwork #humpbackwhaletattoo #amazingart #uniquetattoos #nofilter

Inktober Day 12 - “Whale”
We may never know for sure all the reasons whales breach but we have a couple of theories!
#whaletales #whalesareawesome #whaletrivia #whalewednesday
Posted @withregram • @northern.naturalist Breaching! It’s the most spectacular behavior one can observe from a whale. One of the most common questions asked on a whale watching trip is “Why do whales breach?”
Like many other behaviors, there are multiple reasons why a whale might breach. Heavy loads of barnacles and other parasites might be quite itchy—breaching can help shake these off and even remove them. Often, breaching occurs in social situations or when other whales are nearby; breaches may be a way of communicating to other whales. They also can be used to communicate to humans—whales sometimes breach in response to boats that get too close. This is essentially a whale saying “Back off!” Of course, breaching can also be part of play. Breaches are a great way to exercise and burn off a little energy, and calves are especially prone to bouts of playful breaching.
This is not an exhaustive list—breaching is a very interesting behavior that can be prompted by many different things, and the reason for a breach depends on the context.
