Ted Cheeseman leads one of the world’s largest Whale Citizen Scientist Projects. In fact it may be the largest Citizen Science Project for Whales in the world. 

Citizen Scientist contributors around the world have been photographing the underside of the flukes of Humpback Whales for almost ten years and uploading these images to a Whale Fluke database.

Whale markings are then cross correlated with other images in the database and specific whales can be identified. This is valuable information for Whale Research scientists.
