Working with Whales:
The Extraordinary Outcomes of CRESLI's Longstanding Opportunistic Research Program
The local non-profit organization CRESLI (Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island) has been operating whale watching tours out of Montauk since 1996. In addition to educating and engaging the public, the tours provide an opportunity to collect data, improving our understanding of the habitat usage and population dynamics of the cetaceans frequenting our waters. Join one of CRESLI's naturalists, Dr. Marianne McNamara (Professor of Biology and Marine Biology at SCCC), as she shares insights into the data collection process, recent findings, and stunning photography, focusing on the humpback whale population off eastern Long Island.
More on Dr. Marianne McNamara on the Program page.
