Whale Conclusions

A graph showing the disance of several whale pods from shore. This is only from the first trip.
Recently, we went whale watching for the second time to complete our data. From this, I was supposed to formulate my conclusion. The question I attempted to answer was whether whales like to be closer to shore or farther away, earlier or later in the season. I expected that they would like to be closer to shore earlier in the season, because the calves would be younger at that time and would require the protection from predators that the shore provides. I was unable to conclude because I could not measure my distance from shore during the second whale watch.


I thought that this whole trip was kind of fun. I enjoyed going on our whale watches. It wasn't my area of expertise, but it was fun.
