Frank's Whales

Frank’s Whales details the efforts of a small, but dedicated, group of volunteers who are doing their part to save the most endangered large mammal in the world. North Atlantic Right Whales, hunted almost to extinction by 1935, use Northeast Florida coastal waters as their only known calving grounds. With an estimated population of only 325 whales remaining, scientists and volunteers are working to minimize the whales’ greatest threat, which comes from the human impact of ship strikes and fishing gear entanglement.

Led by marine mammal scientists, volunteers gather data about the whales from shore-based observation points. Frank Gromling, a four-year veteran of the research project, tells the fascinating story of the endangered whales and the special role being played by a handful of volunteers. For anyone interested in nature, conservation, whales, and volunteer programs, this is required reading.
