Had the great privilege (yes...acknowledged privilege) of being in Hawaii recently and went on a humpback whale watching trip with the Pacific Whale Foundation (non-profit) - these majestic animals have slowly recovered in the wild due to conservation efforts and are a critical part of our ocean ecosystem in providing primary production, as well as highly intelligent and all around delightful
