Manage episode 441203626 series 3597070
In this episode and radio show, we talk with Ted Cheeseman, founder of Happywhale, an organization that engages citizen scientists to help identify individual marine mammals, for fun and for science. Their mission is to increase global understanding and caring for marine environments and to make it easy and rewarding for the public to participate in marine science through innovative and engaging collaborative tools which also serves the research community.
Their creation story: From Happywhale.com: Why whales, and what about other marine creatures too? Whales are magnificent and mysterious creatures, they inspire awe and admiration in almost everyone so fortunate as to observe them. We are motivated by a desire to learn more about whales, other marine mammals, and the ocean environment that they – and we – depend on.
