Whales and Harbor seals have been my focus since the early 1970's and 1980's. I volunteer at <a href='http://www.coa.edu/html/nahc.htm'>Allied Whale</a> the organization that houses and maintains the North Atlantic Humpback whale catalog. But I also observe a Haul out rock near home, since 1988. I can recognize 30+ individuals and have seen some of them for the last 19 years!
