Haven't backed any projects yet! 

Well, there's no evidence that these particular whales feed in California, but the international collaborative effort known as SPLASH (http://www.cascadiaresearch.org/splash/splash.htm) outlined the feeding/breeding areas the humpbacks prefer. Based on their observations, it seems clear that humpbacks making it as far south as Costa Rica are migrating from the waters off Oregon and California. On the other hand, corroborating/extending those earlier studies is what we'll be doing here! Using fluke images, we'll be trying to match the animals in this nursery area to a particular feeding ground.
