Whale and Marine Life Archives We have created the world's largest video-based archive of whale and other marine life behaviors. Help "Save The Whale" Archives by purchasing any DVD on our site. Our goal is to preserve the entire archive and donate it to an organization that will make it available free of charge to all educators, researchers and conservation groups. Click here for more detailed information Beginning in April 1988, we recorded all marine and ocean life encountered during 68,000 hours cruising Stellwagen Bank in the Gulf of Maine. The archives run through October 2003. Common behaviors as well as once in a lifetime sightings have been stored on analog video, more than 8000 video tapes preserve 8800 hours of unique video. The equivalent of ten years of annotation has been completed. Searching footage by species, individual animal and behavior is possible. While the primary focus was large baleen whales; dolphins, pinnipeds, pelagic birds and all other forms of marine life are represented. Approximately 500 known individual humpback whales are identified in the archives, including 100 plus grandmothers and their descendants. An intensive search is taking place to find a home for this unique and irreplaceable archive for education, research, conservation and commercial use decades in the future.
