Monterey Bay

The world's largest and healthiest population of blue whales is found in California, where there are more than 2,000 of them. Because of the abundance of the krill that these whales feed on, they can be found here. Your whale watching excursions will be accompanied by researchers who can identify each whale by photographing one of its sides. The dorsal fin must be included in this because each whale has a unique shape to it. These people set out on their journey to Baja California in November.
