If you have sighted a whale, we would love to hear about it. Our whale sighting log relies on information from the public, (Even our talented spotters can’t be everywhere at once!) So if you do see a whale let us know. Fill in your sighting details below or give us a call on 8551 0750 to make a report in person.
Whale Sighting Photos
If you have photos of a whale sighting we would love to see them! Southern Right Whales can be identified by their callosities, (the white lumps found on their heads), callosities on a Southern Right are as unique as human fingerprints!
The SA Whale Centre collects these images and in doing so helps citizen scientists create a catalogue of individual whales that visit the Encounter Bay area. The Encounter Bay Right Whale Study (EBRWS) currently have a catalogue of more than 60 individuals known to frequent our shores. Check it out here!
If you’ve sighted a whale, report it here or call or email to us at 8551 0750 / whalecentre@victor.gov.sa.au.
Stop by our Southern Right Whale catalog to find out more about the whales who visit South Australian shores.
