Research - Science Protecting Nature

The field of animal studies has reached a turning point. We no longer have the luxury of studying animals just to learn more about them. Now we must learn more about them to help protect them. Their survival and the health of our environment depends on our ability to understand the interdependence between humans and the natural world. The Ocean Mammal Institute is dedicated to doing ecologically-sensitive research on marine mammals and their interactions with humans. Our research results are applied directly to protecting ocean mammals.

Research Internships - Learning Through Experience


FIELD RESEARCH ON THE HAWAIIAN HUMPBACK WHALE - JAN 11, 2022 - JAN 24, 2022

Two-thirds of the North Pacific population of humpback whales come to Maui each winter to mate and give birth. Help us with our pioneering vessel impact research in this critical whale habitat for approximately two weeks in January 2022.

If you participate, you may receive college credit for this experience when taken as an Independent Study Course or Internship Course. Please inquire for details.

Activities include lectures, readings, videos, discussions and, of course, data collection on the shore. Shore-based data collection involves tracking whales and boats with a theodolite and recording whale behaviors.
