Ultimate Whale Watch and Snorkel spent 10 days teaming up with Navy researchers this March to conduct research by measuring the hearing frequency of whales. Ultimate owner and marine biologist Lee James, fabricated a special underwater speaker that acted as a modulatory, tracking stationary animals and helping the researchers hone in on the singing.
Ultimate’s vessel Aloha Kai transported reachers to locations where they used this speaker to send out different mild frequencies and monitor if there were any changes in the animal’s behavior. Documenting the whale’s responses and comparing them with notes from other researchers working on location in places like Kauai, will help us better determine the hearing range of whales and how they communicate.
Proceeds from every Ultimate Whale Watch and Snorkel are what fund important research like this! Mahalo for your support!
