Every year, thousands of humpback whales travel nearly 3,000 miles from Alaska to Hawaiʻi to give birth—a journey fueled entirely by endurance and fat reserves. In the Wake of Whales takes you into the heart of this incredible migration, revealing the science, sacrifice, and strength behind one of nature’s greatest journeys.
Follow the Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) at the University of Hawaiʻi as they study whale behavior, health, and reproduction—all while facing the growing impacts of climate change.
From stunning underwater footage to fascinating facts (like the 22 million calories a pregnancy costs a humpback mom), this 12-minute film brings whale conservation to life. You’ll also see how researchers use fluke photos to track over 10,000 individual whales in a global database—making this one of the largest whale catalogs in the world.
Dolphin Quest, founded in 1988, has locations on Oahu, Hawaii, and Bermuda. Its mission is “to protect marine animals and their environments through experiential learning and scientific discovery.” Learn more about their worldwide conservation impact.
“Dolphin Quest is honored to support this research and help share it with the public,” said Dr. Rae Stone, Dolphin Quest Co-Founder of Dolphin Quest. “This project combines the best of science, education and conservation—and makes it accessible for everyone.”
The video aims to inspire and educate viewers of all ages on the importance of protecting humpback whales. At the end of the film, a QR code invites viewers to support ongoing research and conservation efforts.
