Whaling Museum

Recently, a team of researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) was working in the Great South Channel 40 miles east-southeast of Chatham, Mass., when they sighted a humpback whale severely entangled in fishing gear.  Read the full press release at WHOI.edu.

Our upcoming exhibit, opening on July 3rd, “From Pursuit to Preservation”, will explore human interaction with whales, including issues of preservation.
