THAI WHALES 2015

ThaiWhales group has, for the past few years, joined the officials
of MCRC-UPPER to study about and make Photo ID for Bryde's whales
in the Gulf of Thailand. We have also supported and publicized the news
and information of their regular present in the upper part of the Gulf
of Thailand.

Up until now, about 50 Bryde's whales have been recorded. Among
them are 12 pairs of mother and calf whales which we proudly present
to you in this year calendar.

Looking back to the task we have done, we feel very proud and happy
to see the change we have made; from wondering,"Is there really a whale
in the gulf?" to realizing that there 'are' whales in Thailand.
Moreover, Thai people know for sure that they are the Bryde’s Whales.

Furthermore, the relationship between people and whales has already
been created. The increasing number of whales, especially the continuous
present of new mothers and calves indicates the fertilities of their food
in the gulf. Therefore, we would like to record this for further research.
We would like all Thai to join the pride and would like to arouse their
interest in conservation.
