The Listen to the Whales campaign, created with the National Geographic Society’s Impact Story Lab, won the People’s Voice Webby Award for Video & Film, in the category Science & Education! We are honored and look forward to continuing to Listen to the Whales together💙🐳 projectceti.org/listen
Did you know every sperm whale’s fluke/tail is unique?🐳 This World Ocean Month, you can discover 20 of the most often encountered sperm whale families off the coast of Dominica in the latest CETI x The Dominica Sperm Whale Project Fluke Book at listen.projectceti.org#learnWithUs
CETI Scientists have developed a two-hydrophone system that can pinpoint sperm whales’ location from their click sequences while they dive deep. Learn about the system here: bit.ly/42Om2eQ
