Welcome to WhaleWatch – a global community powered Whale sightings platform. Originating in Australia over a decade ago, we've embarked on this journey once more in response to popular demand. However, this time, it extends beyond Australia's borders. It's no longer just for Australians to observe, post, and share their encounters with the majestic creatures of our remarkable planet; it's for the world to embrace. Whale migration, one of nature's most awe-inspiring phenomena, is a remarkable journey undertaken by various species of whales across vast stretches of ocean. Spanning thousands of miles annually, these migrations serve essential purposes such as breeding, feeding, and avoiding harsh environmental conditions. Some species, like the humpback whale, travel from their feeding grounds in polar regions to warmer waters near the equator to give birth and mate, while others, like the gray whale, undertake epic journeys from Arctic waters to the warmer waters of the Pacific coast of Mexico. These migrations are not only crucial for the survival of whale populations but also play a significant role in maintaining the health and balance of marine ecosystems worldwide. VIEW, POST AND SHARE – WHALE SIGHTINGS View the interactive Whale sightings map. You can view and post your whale sightings on the WhaleWatch app for the wider whale watching enthusiasts. Note behaviours, characteristics, species and upload photos to get your sightings published. Note that we may restrict what appears on the app if there are too many. For example; one tour boat carrying 50+ can create a lot of sightings which are similar so we moderate the platform for a better user experience. WHALE WATCH – GALLERY Seen it breach or slap? Or, did you see a mother and calf combo on your tour. Be sure to post your photo for it to be available on the app. SIGN UP IS NOT A MUST. JUST ENJOY THE APP We ONLY request you to sign up and create an account if you are keen to submit your sightings and photos to the gallery. If not, there is no sign up required. Just enjoy the app. RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS Be reminded of sightings, whale facts and tips. Recommend to keep your notifications on so you don’t miss out on information about upcoming Whale seasons and useful information. PARTNER WITH US? We have had great support from so many of you. So, whether you are a conservationist, marine biologist, tour operator or just a whale enthusiast – it does not matter as we are always looking for like minded people, communities and organisations who can help us with our program to digitise Whale Watching.
