Join in whale counting tomorrow

Advertiser Staff

Whale counting will take place at more than 60 sites around O'ahu, Kaua'i, the Big Island and Kaho'olawe tomorrow.

It is the final count of the season by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration's Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary.

The first two counts were held on the last Saturday of January and February.

Saturday's count will be from 8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

Volunteers can register by calling (888) 55-Whale, ext. 253 for the Big Island, 397-2651 ext. 253 for O'ahu and (808) 246-2860 for Kaua'i.

The Pacific Whale Foundation conducts whale counts off Maui independently.
