Adopt a Whale for the Perfect Holiday Gift

Want to stay “green” this holiday season and purchase a gift full of meaning and love? Look no further than College of the Atlantic’s Adopt-a-Whale program. Choose from 11 different humpback and fin whales, including Oseana, the long-distance-migration record holder. Single whales are $30 to adopt, while mother-calf pairs are $40. When adopting one of these whales, you’ll receive: a certificate of adoption, photos, a biography and a sighting history of your whale; and the Adopt-a-Whale booklet, full of fascinating information, photographs and maps about the Earth’s largest mammals. Adopting a Whale Online is fast, easy, safe, and fun! And, even better, your purchase will provide critical support to Allied Whale at College of the Atlantic, an organization that houses the oldest and largest dedicated whale photo-identification program in the world. Allied Whale established and manages the first ocean-wide collections of individually identified whales, including the North Atlantic Humpback Whale catalog, the North Atlantic Fin Whale catalog, and the Antarctic Humpback Whale catalog. More has been learned about whale populations, behavior, and habitat from such studies than any other way. With four decades of experience behind them, Allied Whale scientists remain committed to promoting the effective conservation of marine mammal populations and their habitats through international collaboration and field-based educational opportunities. Give the gift of conservation this winter.
