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 Ministry of Environment) 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 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

After three years of research and filming, the Humpback Whale Research and Film Project will give the premiere showing of the one-hour documentary “Where the Whales Sing” at 8.30 pm on 11^th March 2010 at BUEI’s Tradewind auditorium. Fund-raising tickets are $50 and can be obtained from BdaTix or the iStore or Fabulous Fashions.

Bermuda is the only mid-ocean platform in the Northern hemisphere providing a window into the migratory social behaviour of humpback whales. The film documents new evidence of the humpbacks’ lives with remarkable close-up underwater footage of humpback whales in Bermuda, their breeding grounds in the Caribbean, and their feeding grounds in Eastern Canada.

Three years ago Producer/Director Andrew Stevenson embarked on what seemed like an interesting and challenging project. The humpback whales have since become an overriding passion. Come share his journey, told through the eyes of his 6-year old daughter, Elsa.
