We study and catalogue humpback whales across their Gulf of Maine feeding range. The research season begins in late March and continues through December. Below is a list of individual humpback whales that have been seen recently in the Gulf of Maine, through our own research or reports from our regional collaborators.

You can download a photo-ID guide to many of the whales on this list. Last years sightings can be viewed here.

We thank the following collaborators for sharing information: Blue Ocean Society, Boston's Best Cruises, Boston Harbor Cruises, Brier Island Whale and Seabird Cruises, Captain John Boats, Cape Ann Whale Watch, Dolphin Fleet, Grand Manan Whale and Seabird Research Station, New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance, Quoddy Link Marine, Whale and Dolphin Conservation and others.
