    Breeding Ground Research

     
         
     

    Humpback whales are known for their long migrations from temperate summering grounds to tropical wintering grounds. Around the world, the greatest winter concentrations of humpback whales are found in waters less than 200 meters (600 feet) deep, at latitudes of less than 25 degrees, and associated with oceanic banks or the shallows near islands.  

    The Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies performs research in three oceanic breeding grounds:


     West Indies

     Hawai'ian Islands

     American Samoa

     North Atlantic

    North Pacific

     South Pacific
