Like counting whales?

http://bigislandnow.com/2018/01/08/volun...of-whales/

Now in its 23rd year, Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary is looking for volunteers for the 2018 Sanctuary Ocean Count. Volunteers count whales and record their behaviors from more than 60 shore sites on the islands of Hawai'i, O'ahu and Kaua'i.

The Sanctuary Ocean Count will be held on Saturdays Jan. 27, Feb. 24, and March 31, 2018, at selected sites from 8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

Through ocean count, the public can learn about humpback whale population, distribution, and behavioral trends while being involved in a volunteer monitoring effort.

Interested volunteers may register online http://sanctuaryoceancount.org/register. Additional information is available on the sanctuary’s website http://hawaiihumpbackwhale.noaa.gov/ or volunteers may call (808 )725-5923 (Hawai'i Island and O'ahu) and (808) 246-2860 for Kaua'i.

Volunteers are required to register prior to participating. Registration will close one week prior to the event date.

I's sign up, but people would get SICK of me repeating this every time I saw one:

There's usually a pretty good turnout at the HPP location. I've never signed up or attended, but when I've walked past the group they look like they're enjoying the view, the whale sightings, and each other's company.
