Sanctuary Ocean Count Register

Photos from the field

Photos from past Ocean Count Saturdays

Volunteers on shore, scenic sites across the Hawaiian Islands, and the whales that brought everyone out before sunrise.

Have photos from a count?

Send images from any count Saturday — volunteers in action, scenic views, humpback whales, or other marine life — and we'll add them to the gallery.

Albums

Each album captures one count Saturday across all five islands. More recent counts are being added as we receive site-leader submissions.

Photos courtesy of Ocean Count volunteers, site leaders, and the sanctuary outreach team. All marine mammal images taken in compliance with federal regulations from authorized shore-based observation distances.
