Dear Gotham Whale Supporters and Friends, As we come to the close of the Month of February celebrating Humpback Whale Awareness Month, and we couldn’t be more excited to honor these majestic whales that call the waters of New York and New Jersey home. This past month has been a remarkable time for Gotham Whale, with incredible national media coverage helping to amplify our message of education and research for whales and their environment.?On February 14, 2025, Gotham Whale was mentioned on Inside Edition, in regard to the kayaker in Chile and other people who have partially engulfed in the mouth of a whale. We want to take a moment to thank you, our amazing supporters, for your friendship, partnership, and sponsorship — especially for helping us provide marine education programs for elementary, middle school, and high school students. Your contributions directly support the next generation of ocean stewards and future marine scientists! We also ask you to continue supporting our mission by engaging with and sharing our posts on social media. Your likes, comments, and shares on Facebook and Instagram help us reach new audiences and inspire even more people to truly care about the whales. ?? Follow Gotham Whale on Facebook ??
