Whale Count Hits New Record | Christchurch News
Description
Record-breaking whale sightings in Kaikōura! A stunning 228 humpback whales were spotted this year — up from 201 last year — thanks to an epic 88-volunteer crew from 14 countries who logged over 430 hours of spotting across 23 days. The annual count, nearly canceled by funding woes, was saved by community support and crowdfunders, culminating in a vibrant Whale Festival with hands-on conservation activities and 265 visitors. A celebration of resilience, community, and ocean love.
