Although we are blanketed under 3 feet of snow here in
Plymouth and Cape Cod, we have some wonderful news to report from a much warmer
region. I just received word from the Center for Coastal Studies that Jooke
Robbins, the Humpback Research Coordinator for the Center, is on the winter
breeding grounds in the Caribbean doing humpback whale research. She spotted
Salt on January 26th and 27th. This is incredible news given that of the
thousands of whales to see down there, Jooke saw Salt, one of "our" most
beloved and popular whales.

Great
news from down south. I just received a report from Jooke Robbins, a researcher
with the Center for Coastal Studies, who is currently down in the Caribbean
looking for humpback whales while they are on their winter breeding and calving
grounds. She says that along with Salt, she has also seen Spoon and Putter
(Mars' calf).
