Editorial Comment:
The Annual Humpback Whale season is well underway. Researcher, Dan Burns and his team, has sighted record numbers of humpbacks travelling north past Cape Byron and the first sightings have been reported in Hervey Bay.

If you would like a unique experience with the Humpbacks join us aboard the Whale Research Expedition in Hervey Bay. A few places are still available in August and September.

The presence of the Humpbacks off the East Coast of Australia is an opportunity for Australians and visitors from overseas to both enjoy and support the Whales by participating in a Whale Watch Criuse or becoming involved in your local Communities Humpback Icon activites.

Peter Garret argued strongly against Japan's scientific whaling at the recent International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting and presented a sobering report on the Global Conservation Status of Cetacea, Whales and Dolphins. The Australian Government is recommending regional non-lethal research partnerships to study Southern Ocean Whales and must maintain pressure on Japan to cease its lethal whaling program in Antartica.

Fifty Nine Australian Communities are now supporting an Australian Humpback Whale. Check if your Community is involved in the Humpback ICON Project. Get the latest HIP News and the HIP Fact Sheet.
