A juvenile gray whale has been spotted nearshore in the south bay. Last year, 24 whales died in and near the San Francisco Bay. Let's do all we can to keep these magnificent friends healthy, happy and safe!

If you listen closely, you'll hear the faint cries of an entangled humpback whale our SeaSounds team encountered on a recent mission.
We can do better to protect these magnificent creatures and help create a safe co-existence where people and wildlife can thrive for generations.
