Whale Watch training to start soon
Training for volunteer whale watchers opens Dec. 5 and 6 in Newport for the winter Whale Watch Week that runs Dec. 26 through Jan. 1.
During the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, trained volunteers staff 26 sites — 24 of them on the Oregon Coast, one each in Southern Washington and Northern California — to dispense information and brochures and to help coast visitors spot southward-migrating gray whales.
The highlighted speaker/trainer at the training sessions is Bruce Mate, one of the foremost authorities on whales in the world and the director of Oregon State University's Marine Mammal Institute.
