Humpback Flukes Photo I.D. Catalogue: (n=27)

After 4 years of dedicated research on humpback whales that visit Irish shores and with the help of eco-tour operators and citizen scientists who log records to the Observers App across the country and in the N. Atlantic, we have gained some valuable insight into these fascinating migratory visitors that have allowed us to apply modern technologies to their conservation efforts.  For more information visit our Smart Whale Sounds Project, funded by HUAWEI's TECH4ALL programme. or the Flukes Follow Project!  We have had a number of re-sightings of different individuals over the years that we have grown to know and love!
