DONATE NOWPacific Whale Foundation focuses research efforts and funded projects primarily in Hawaii, Australia, Ecuador and Chile. Our research in Hawaii occurs in the four-island region of Maui, which includes the waters surrounding the islands of Maui, Kahoʻolawe, Lanaʻi, and Molokaʻi.

Our Keiki Whalewatch program provides an opportunity for local schoolchildren from pre-K to high school to learn about our oceans by getting a closer look at the whales and other marine animals that exist in their own backyard.
