Ocean Wise Whale Report App - Citizen Science Videography Series

This project has been created in commemoration of the lives of all the victims of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, including two Ocean Bridge ambassadors, Danielle Moore and Micah Messent. We aspire to carry on their legacy and commitment to making the world a better place by creating long-lasting impacts with a firm commitment to driving positive change for the environment and our ocean. We will never forget the light that Danielle and Micah brought to the world and will continue to keep them in our hearts. To learn more about these two amazing people, please visit: Honouring Danielle and Micah - Ocean Wise. This work is partially funded by the Commemoration Fund for Victims of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 Tragedy.

We would like to acknowledge that this video was filmed on the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

This video could not be made possible without the guidance and support through the Eco-Action Acceleration program with Ocean Wise. This video highlights the Whale Report App by Ocean Wise which uses reported cetacean sightings by community members to prevent collisions with vessels and disturbance by alerting mariners about whales in the area.

If you’re by water and see a whale, you can download the Whale Report App in Google play or the App Store.

Send a sighting. Save a whale!
