This course is directed to students or anyone interested in learning more about whales and/or want to gain valuable research experience on the field.

This one-week course includes 5 days of boat surveys. Each survey consisting of 6 to 8 boat hours along the Canal de Ballenas. Each day, students/interns will learn photo-id research, sampling techniques, behavioral observations and GIS mapping.
