Gotham Whale was established in 2011 as a non-profit research and education organization focused on marine mammals in NY and NJ. They manage the New York City Humpback Whale Catalog which currently holds more than 160 individual whales. In addition to collecting sightings on-board commercial whale-watching vessels, Gotham Whale's Citizen Scientist WANTED program calls on the general public to report their marine mammal sightings. All reports become an important part of the Gotham Whale sightings database. In fact, more than 25% of sightings come from people just like you! All sightings are used to advocate for the protection of humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, and other marine mammals in the busy NYC area.

Gotham Whale is an all-volunteer organization that relies solely on public funding to complete their mission. By purchasing a t-shirt or sweatshirt, you are helping Gotham Whale to continue their work. Show your support by purchasing here or you can donate at www.gothamwhale.org.
