We have recently commenced an exciting new project that aims to quantify the nursing behavior of humpback whale calves on their Maui breeding grounds. The project is a collaboration between the Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the Goldbogen Lab at Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station, and the Friedlander Lab at University of California, Santa Cruz.

For ten days in February 2020, we (Martin van Aswegen, Will Gough and Lars Bejder) deployed non-invasive suction-up CATs cam tags onto seven humpback whale calves.

The tag deployments would not have been possible without the generous support of Marc Lammers from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Sanctuary, Stephanie Stack and Jens Currie from the Pacific Whale Foundation and the Oceanwide Science Institute.
