Mālama Hawaiʻi with Citizen Science: We’d love your help gathering data. New babies? How many in the pod? Injuries? We may record and report sightings of coral bleaching, ghost nets or other plastic debris. We’ve been submitting photo ids to catalogs of Hawaii’s marine mammals since 2002. Our data helped the Hawaiian false killer whales gain endangered species status.
