Whale Watch
The Whale Watch Program was started in 1986 by our Whale Mother, Bea Brunn, to educate the public about the amazing gray whale. The whales begin their journey at their summer feeding grounds of the Arctic waters of the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort Seas to their winter mating and calving lagoons of Baja California, Mexico, traveling south along the coast. They return after breeding or with their young via the same route, usually closer to shore with the mothers on the outside and the calves closer inland for protection.
Tasks: Whale Watch volunteers help visitors spot whales off the Sonoma Coast. Volunteers interpret the grey whale’s migration and natural history, and provide additional park information to visitors.
Meeting times: State Parks Volunteer Docents are stationed at Bodega Head on weekends from 10AM – 2PM, January through May.
