Humpback Whale Film & Research Project, Bermuda

Welcome to the Humpback Whale Film and Research Project |

|
The Humpback Whale Film & Research Project Bermuda was started in 2007 by Andrew Stevenson (pictured left) to study the humpbacks as they migrate by Bermuda and to document their lives with underwater high-definition video footage and underwater hydrophone recordings. The goal of the project is to broaden our knowledge of our oceans and these magnificent animals and to produce a 30-minute documentary for children about Bermuda’s marine environment. The project is endorsed by both Bermuda Government (Dept. of Conservation Services) and the Bermuda Zoological Society; and supported financially by a broad base of Bermuda’s residents, corporate sponsors and by volunteers who help in a myriad of ways. The documentary will be completed by the end of 2009.
We still need to raise funds to complete this project. If you would like to contribute call 77-SPOUT (777-7688), or email us at

"She gave only poor transmissions with wildly inaccurate locations a few days back when we last heard from her (this is fairly common when a tag is about to fall off), and there has been nothing for the last two duty cycles. There seems to be an agreement among these whales that they'll lose the tags right before they actually reach the feeding grounds and confirm their destination... oh well. She lasted longer than most, and provided some very good and rather surprising information.
