Welcome to the Northeast Pacific minke whale project.
This website is designed to provide information on minke whales in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. The first study of these elusive whales was started by Ellie Dorsey in 1980. Rus Hoezel and Jon Stern joined Ellie in what would become the first long-term study of free-ranging minke whales. Our research continues today focusing on photo-id, foraging ecology and behavior.
