Adopt a whale
Adopt a Whale
Adopt a whale allows you to receive a unique package of an individual whale that we have been tracking over the years in the Gold Coast bay. Each package consist of a certificate and photograph of your whale with all the data that was collected on the day for this whale. You will also be able to name the whale. A great gift idea and something to hold onto for life. Humpback whales can live up to 70 years or more.
This will be your chance to follow a whale on the east coast of Australia through its life using our unique tracking system. We now run surveys on many places along the coast and working together with Flukebook we can quickly identify them moving up and down the coast. Your funds will help to support a network of surveys.
Whale 1
This whale has a very unique fluke with a dark underside and was recorded on the 28/08/2015 at 10:53am on the Gold Coast. Only one year and one day later the whale was photographed again on the 29/09/2016 at 11.09am.
Whale 2
One of our most unique flukes and as such good to identify. First photographed 11/09/2008 at 15:08 in the afternoon and then again 15/07/2011 at 10:10, 14:58 and 15:07 on its northern migration. Fluke code: Fluke code: T1t, T1c, T2l, RSLS, LSLS, LSCS
Whale 3
With a beautiful almost all white fluke this is on of the more difficult whales to resight but thanks to a well placed beauty spot, this whale was resighted on 29/09/2015 at 10:04 and first sighted on 04/09/2012 at 10:32 and 10:50 also during the southern migration.
