Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)

Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) were spotted during a Half Day Offshore Birds, Whales, and Marine-Life Expedition with Gotham Whale, and Jersey Shore Whale Watch 🐋

On Wednesday, October 9, 2024 a mixed group of eager marine biologists, naturalists, photographers, ornithologists, and adventure seekers traveled 40+ miles off the coast of NJ/NY aboard the Jersey Shore Whale Watch’s vessel, the Jersey Girl, in search for offshore birds, Whales, dolphins, turtles, and anything else that wanted to present itself to us. At the end of the day, we spotted:
* 13 humpback whales; 3 of which were calves
* 17 Bird Species
* 2 Loggerhead Sea Turtles
* 1 Leatherback Sea Turtle
* 100s of Mauve Stingers (jellyfish)
* Large school of Yellowfin Tuna
* and 2 Monarch Butterflies

Disclaimer: The crew of Jersey Shore Whale Watch and Gotham Whale follows the strict rules and regulations set forth by whale sense.
