The Oceania Project's Whale Research Expeditions for phase one of the long-term study were conducted from 1989 to 2017 and provided
a dedicated long-term research platform to observe and study Humpback Whales in Hervey Bay.

 "It is only through consistent long-term observation and study that we can begin to unravel and understand the complex social organisation and behaviour of Humpback Whales and determine the social and ecological significance of Hervey Bay for the Eastern Australian Humpbacks."

During the first phase of the research over 2500 participants in The Oceania Project's Internship program supported the Marine Mammal Science program in Hervey Bay and contributed to the scientific understanding of humpback whales.   We thank them!
