Question

Researchers are concerned because populations of humpback whales have been decimated by commercial whaling in the last one hundred years. The issue is so critical that NASA has funded a whale watch program to find ways to reduce human threats to the humpback whales. It is an ambitious project designed to locate and document humpback whales around the world. Researchers like Jay Barlow are excited at the prospect of learning more about these whales.
Humpbacks feed in polar waters, then head south for winter where they breed in the warmer waters around Mexico, Central America, Hawaii, and Japan. When scientists locate the whales, they will approach them on inflatable vessels and photograph their flukes. These whale tails are like fingerprints and can identify individual whales. In addition, hydrophones are submerged below the surface of the water. Researchers use the underwater microphones to listen for the whales' singing. Their singing is most prevalent during the winter months when they breed.
