Captain Art and the entire Team Searcher are getting excited about our first trip of 2016, leaving on February 7. The first 2016 census in Laguna San Ignacio took place on 14 January and the reserve staff counted 19 calves and 69 adults for a total of 88 gray whales. The second census took place on 19 January and 122 whales were counted: 83 adults and 39 calves. Dr Steven Swartz (www.sanignaciograywhales.org) and his research team will be set up at their research station at the lagoon next week. Stay tuned for all the information from down south as we receive it!
