Welcome to Whale Songs , an educational center about people and whales. It is an evolving resource, encouraging communication among researchers, students, educators and whale lovers worldwide.
Join us in the field on January 2000, as a team of high school ecology students from Saucon Valley, Pennsylvania, and the Whale Songs team, along with some friends, travel to the Island of Dominica on a mission to study the island's ecological treasures, which go beyond it richness as the habitat of 14 cetaceans! Be sure to visit the site each day between January 18 and January 21, 2000 to participate in daily discussions about the team's findings!
Whale Songs was selected as a valuable Internet resource for Discovery Channel School's H2Oceans theme for spring 1997.

The Bay of Fundy Whales I n Micmac lore, it was a giant whale, who angered the god Glooscap and created such a splash with his mighty tail, that the water sloshes back and forth to this day.
In actuality, the story of the tremendous Bay of Fundy tides is no less the stuff of legends.
Some 350 million years ago, it was not Glooscap, but rather the sun and moon who conspired to create this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. That is, some 100 million years before the first dinosaurs roamed the earth, this pulsing arm of the North Atlantic was formed, its unique shape amplifying the tides to staggering proportions.
New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy is an eco-attraction on par with such marvels as the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Rain Forest of Brazil. It's mighty tides are the greatest on earth. Every day, twice daily, one hundred billion tons of seawater roll in and out of the Bay. At low tide, you can literally walk on the ocean floor. At high tide, just six hours later, your footprints will be covered by the ocean. In some places, the vertical difference between high and low tide is 14 meters- roughly the same height as a four storey building!
Whales in the Bay Finback Whales The Bay of Fundy giant and the second largest in the world. It can grow to 24 meters (80 feet) and weight 73 tonnes (80 tons). Finbacks have a tall "blow" and are evenly distributed throughout the mouth of the bay.

The cetacean suborders
The modern cetaceans, the order Cetacea , are represented by two suborders: the baleen whales or Mysticeti and the toothed whales or Odontoceti . The third suborder, the Archeoceti is now extinct. The main differences between the two groups are: Mysticeti Odontoceti No teeth. Instead they have keratin baleen plates, suspended from the roof of the mouth All species have teeth. There number of teeth varies from 2 in some beaked whales to more than 250 in some dolphin species. Two nasal openings (or blowholes) Single nasal opening (or blowhole) The skull is symmetrical The skull is asymmetrical The melon is present only in the fetal stage and absent or poorly developed in adults. They have no echolocation capabilities.

Nature: Military sonar may give whales the bends
From Natalie Pawelski
CNN
Cut surface of the liver shows that cavitary lesions have extensively replaced normal tissue. Story Tools (CNN) Dozens of whales, dolphins and porpoises have washed up dead on shores around the world after exposure to military sonar. Researchers writing in the journal Nature say they may have found a link. Scientists examined the bodies of ten beaked whales that died on two beaches in the Canary Islands in September. The whales began stranding themselves within hours of the use of mid-frequency sonar during Spanish-led international naval exercises. Paul Jepson of the Zoological Society of London and colleagues found that the whales suffered tissue and organ damage caused by gas bubbles, consistent with rapid decompression and similar to the bends, a sometimes-fatal condition for humans.

The world's great whales are in trouble.
Despite an international moratorium on commercial whaling, two countries, Japan and Norway, are continuing to hunt whales for profit. These nations are aggressively campaigning to lift the ban on whaling. With a return to large scale whaling just a hair's breadth away, we urgently need to take action to stop Japan and Norway's efforts. Greenpeace is working on many fronts, fighting to stop commercial whaling through political work, public outreach and by taking non-violent direct action against the whalers at sea. We need your help! This site contains archive material. To see the latest news about whales, visit the whale news section of our current site.

The earth's great whales have been targeted by whalers over the centuries, bringing some populations to the brink of extinction. All bar one, the sperm whale, are baleen whales, feeding on small crustaceans or fish which they strain out from the water by means of the baleen plates growing from the roofs of their mouths. The sperm whale is however a toothed whale which mainly hunts squid in deep waters. All whale population estimates are approximate due to the inherent difficulties in their calculation and are often the subject of much controversy in the IWC Scientific Committee. As a result of this uncertainty, it is often difficult for scientists to ascertain whether a particular whale population is increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable. The status given for each species is the threat category as ascribed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). For more information visit

NATURE's "Humpback Whales" follows these migrating marine mammals and presents their unique singing and hunting habits.
Graceful and magnificent, humpback whales inspire awe in young and old alike. These marine mammals travel great distances to take advantage of the best breeding grounds and feeding spots. North Pacific humpbacks, for example, mate and give birth in Hawaii and then travel to Alaska each summer to feed.
These gentle giants are famous for their singing abilities belting out seductive ballads to attract mates or to challenge other would-be suitors. But they also have other talents. Their unique hunting skill, called bubblenet feeding, involves a group of humpbacks working together to capture schools of herring. Each whale has a particular role in the process: One whale swims in a circle while blowing bubbles under a school of herring. When the bubbles rise, the school of herring can not escape and form into a tight ball in the center. Other whales vocalize grunting or screaming to scare the herring to the surface. The whales then rise with their mouths wide open to capture large amounts of fish.
Trek across the oceans with these astounding creatures and discover more revealing details about their wonder-filled, watery ways.

Where the Wild Things are Our playground, the rural Waianae Coast of Oahu, Hawaii, offers many different kinds of marine life including dolphins, whales, turtles, tropical fish, spotted eagle rays, sponges, and coral reef inhabitants to name a few. The Waianae Range is on the west coast of Oahu, Hawaii. It is largely shielded from the rains brought into the islands by the Northeasterly bearing trade winds by its neighbor, Koolau Volcano. This makes Waianae much drier than the Koolaus, particularly on its westward (leeward) slopes. This dryness keeps runoff to a minimum and thus, some of the clearest water in Hawaii is found at the beaches of the Waianae coast. This area is also reputed to have the most extensive coral reefs and marine life in the Hawaiian Islands. It's not surpirsing then that there is fascinating marine life all along the Leeward Coast. The Northwestern tip, at Ka'ena Point appears to be a magnet for marine mammals. We are currently conducting research to determine the extent of this phenomenon. Click on the links below to learn more about some of the creatures we have become quite friendly with.

No living animals have captured our imaginations as have the great whales... They fire our imaginations and stab at our emotions. They inspire our art, literature, and music. And so they should. The indescribable blend of grace, power, and beauty of a whale as it glides underwater, leaps toward the sky, or simply lifts its flukes and slides into the sea symbolises a vanishing poetry of the wild.
