Expand Your Educational Horizons
with Telecommunications
WhaleNet, in conjunction with research groups, educational
organizations, and whale watch companies, provides a program to
enhance the educational opportunities of students.
WhaleNet offers, students and teachers, curriculum
support, a source of data for interdisciplinary classroom
activities , and interactive informational support through
WhaleNet/EnviroNet utilizing telecommunications.
WhaleNet provides a system where students, teachers, and
researchers collect data on their whale watching cruises and compile
their data on the WhaleNet bulletin board. The data is then shared, via
WhaleNet, with schools for interdisciplinary curricular activities and
student research in their respective classrooms world-wide. WhaleNet
is establishing Internet communication between classes from around
the world so that students can use collaborative learning, compare and
relate their experiences, data, and knowledge with one another.
WhaleNet is an interdisciplinary program to enhance
science education and environmental awareness using
telecommunications. WhaleNet, part of EnviroNet, is an
enhancement project funded by the National Science Foundation and
sponsored by Wheelock College and Simmons College in Boston.
Class activities may be supplemented with
information packets with materials supplied by WhaleNet.
Plans to build a life-sized (55 ft.) inflatable whale that the students
can actually walk through are also available through WhaleNet. Also
available are Interactive CD-Rom and curriculum materials and the
Elementary Whale Study Curriculum (EWSC) developed by Whale
Conservation Institute and the Discovery Channel, and the booklets
Whale Watches as Interdisciplinary Teaching Opportunities, The World
of Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises -- Interdisciplinary Curriculum
Activities for Pre-K through High School, and Marine Science Activities
on a Budget. WhaleNet curricula support continues through the winter
months by utilizing information from the humpback southern breeding
areas, WCI Patagonia right whale research, and research information on
tracking whales, ocean toxics (ECOTOX), and bioacoustics supplied by
the voyages of the WCI research vessel Odyssey.

Recording Whale Watch Data
Prior to making reservations for your whale watch, ask the company
if they are WhaleNet affiliated and/or if they will allow you to conduct
your research: record Lat/Long positions, collect water samples, and/or
collect plankton samples. The companies need not be affiliated with
WhaleNet, but you should be sure that you will be allowed to conduct your
activities. Ask if the captain will allow a student in the pilot house to
collect Latitude/Longitude (or LORAN) readings, depths, etc.
Organize your data collecting teams or individuals before you arrive at
the boat. The excitement of the day, boarding, etc. does not lend itself to
organizing at dock side.
Data Sheet
1. Fill in as much of the general information (weather, tides, etc.) in the
data
sheet header as possible. Sea state (beaufort scale of wind velocity), wave
height, and visibility should be recorded at sea.
2. Take a Latitude/Longitude (Lat/Long) fix about every 15 minutes on the
way to and from the primary whale watching area beginning at the harbor
mouth.
3. The time should be recorded for each Lat/Long fix and marine mammal
observation. Use 24-hr. time for all data entries, i.e. 2:15 PM would be
14:15. (For afternoon or evening just add 12 to the hour.)
4. The location is determined by Lat/Long coordinates (i.e. 71 24'W, 42 40'N)
Two coordinates are used for a fix. Write one coordinate in each column
under Location.
5. Depth can either be recorded by depth sounder on the boat or by making
a fix on the chart and noting the depth on the chart closest to the fix. Many
depth sounders do not work well when the boat is traveling at higher
speeds.
6. When a whale is observed record the species using the Species
Abbreviation Sheet, i.e. Mn for humpback, Bp for fin whale etc.
7. Record the number of whales in the immediate area (subjective distance
judgment) around the boat. This can be confusing when there are a number
of whales in the area. Use a separate line on the data sheet for each species
in an area, all the other data will be the same, i.e. time, Lat/Long, depth,
etc.
8. Grouping is recorded by listing the number of whales in a group. The sum
total of grouping must equal the previous Number recorded. For instance, if
you have 6 humpback whales, you may have 2+2+1+1 if there are two pairs
and two single animals. a cow/calf pair is recorded as c/c.
9. Behavior is recorded as feeding, traveling, breaching, flipper slapping, lob
tailing, spy hop, logging, trumpeting, etc. There are more behaviors and
some researchers take minute detailed behavioral data, but for your
purposes that detail may not be necessary.
10. The last column can be used for names of humpbacks. Most of the Gulf
of Maine population have been named to facilitate data transfer by
researchers.

WhaleNet Data Input Instructions
After you access the E-mail address (see WhaleNet Access Sheet) input
the data as follows.
1. Under the heading SUBJECT, enter the data as shown.
To: WhaleNet@vmsvax.simmons.edu
CC:
Subject: Data/NSB/May 4 94/WCI/Daunto/Stoneham MS 6
Data/Area/Date/Research Group/Vessel/School
Key:
Data - identifies the entry as data
NSB - identifies area [NSB- Northern Stellwagen Bank, SSB - Southern
Stellwagen Bank, JL-Jeffrey's Ledge, IP-Ipswich Bay, LIS - Long Island
Sound, VB - Virginia Beach, etc.]
May 4 94 - date
WCI - organization Whale Conservation Institute, boats should have a
research group affiliated with it.
Daunto- specific vessel name
Stoneham MS 6- school or group name, grade
NOTE: This must be consistent for the users' sake. This information will
appear on the Bulletin Board Directory, and thus, it will simplify sorting
through all of the many data entries on the directory. For instance, if you
wish to do a longitudinal study you may want to select only the WCI data
over a period of time. WCI will continually input data throughout the
season. If you want to concentrate on one specific area, you may select only
one area code like NSB (Northern Stellwagen Bank), if you want to study
from only one boat you may select it, or you may select specific dates if you
want to compare data by dates, etc.
** NON-WHALE WATCHING CLASSES **
If you are a class not going on a whale watch but using the whale watch
data, use the data sheets to copy data off of the WhaleNet Bulletin Board.
You can then use the data in the same way as those that did go on an actual
whale watch.

WhaleNet Sample & Start-up Activities
Activity 1: Navigation
Simple navigation methods can be used to involve mathematics. Using
latitude and longitude, or a system of navigation called LORAN (Long Range
Aid to Navigation) the ship's position can be plotted very accurately on a
navigation chart. The ship's track can be plotted on a chart by taking a
position check or fix periodically by recording the time and ship's
Lat/Longcoordinates. Prior to your trip laminate your chart or cover it with
clear contact paper. The students can use water soluble fine tip markers to
plot the fixes and course as the day progresses. Different colors can be used
to indicate different species sightings, etc. The chart can be reused when the
fixes are washed off. (Use Lat/Long if possible.)
With the plot of the ship's course a number of activities can be
undertaken. Plot the vessel's research track and calculate: the distance
covered, the rate of the vessel's travel from point to point (D=R*T, " a
minute's a mile the world around"), the depth of water at various points can
be found by checking the depth on the chart at the point of the fix, and the
topography of the research track can be observed (see bathymetry below).
Students can plot the track of the boat by recording the Lat/Long
coordinates at preset time intervals, i.e. every 15 minutes and/or at every
sighting of marine mammals, and then plotting these points (taking a fix) on
a chart of the area. (Charts are available for $13.00 or a bathymetric
(fishing) chart for $3.00 through boat yards or boating magazines. The
bathymetric chart gives a better visualization of the bottom topography and
may be more helpful if a study of bottom topography is planned. The
bathymetric chart also has some LORAN lines on it, but not as many as the
navigation chart.
NOTE: you only need the Lat/Long or two LORAN coordinates to plot a position.)
Using the research track, students should note locations, depths,
topography, etc. where marine mammals are observed along with the
behavior and activity observed.
Activity 2: Water Testing
Water testing is an important part of oceanography and whale
research. Activities such as testing the water temperature, density and
salinity are commonly measured qualities of sea water. To collect a water
sample notify crew members, wait until the boat STOPS COMPLETELY, drop a bucket
with a line attached to the handle overboard and bring up a water
sample. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature, and a hydrometer
to measure the density. With the density and temperature, the salinity can
be determined using temp/density/salinity charts or graphs.
The color of the water, sea state (wave height), wind velocity and
direction, and air temperature are also important bits of information to the
researcher. This information is listed on the data sheet.
Activity 3: Plankton Tow and Analysis
A plankton tow and analysis explains a great deal about why the
whales are where they are. The plankton can be examined with hand lenses
or microscopes, and depending on the class age various degrees of plankton
analysis can be conducted. Data on density of plankton, identification of
plankton types, etc. can be included.
A discussion and development of food chains and food webs would be
a natural follow-up to the plankton tow. Phytoplankton (plants) and zoo-
plankton (animals) can be observed under normal conditions. If only one
plankton net can be purchased choose a phytoplankton net. It collects both
plant and animal plankton.
Activity 4: Data Collection
Data collection should be made on: the location of the observation, the
species observed, the number of each species, behavior of the organism, and
any other information that might be important.
Data sheets should be photocopied from the one included in advance
of the trips and research groups can be assigned in any manner appropriate
to the class. Groups can either be assigned to take data for the class or
groups can be assigned to take data throughout the trip. It would be
suggested that only one person at a time be assigned to record the position
coordinates (Lat/Long) in the pilot house, and the captain should be
contacted and talked with about the best procedure prior to the trip. Some
vessels have Lat/Long or LORAN receivers in the public cabin, inquire at the
time you make your reservations.
For more class involvement, additional data can be collected on the
pollution (floating trash) and bird sightings. The Pollution Data Table should
include time sighted, location, type of trash, amount of trash, composition of
trash, etc. The data of the times sighted can be coordinated with the position
recordings to approximate the location of the trash sightings. Totals of the
trash sightings should be included after the whale sighting information. Bird
sightings can also be recorded in a similar fashion. There is a bird sighting
bulletin board in EnviroNet, see the EnviroNet booklet for procedures to
input bird data.
Activity 5: Photo-Identification of Whales
Photo-identification photographs of humpback whales taken on the
cruise should be recorded as follows: date, location, photo taken by whom,
what roll number of film (number each roll of film with the initials of the
photographer & roll number such as: JMW/95-001), and what number on
the roll. The photographs can be used later to identify the whale using a
humpback whale catalogue or they can be mailed to Allied Whale, College of
the Atlantic, Bar Harbor, Maine to be entered into the Humpback Whale
Catalogue data base.
Activity 6: Mathematics
Plot the complete research track on a chart. How many miles did the
trip cover? What was the average speed of the boat from fix to fix, for the
entire trip? What was the heading (compass direction) on each leg of the
trip? How many sighting were made for each hour of the trip? (This is the
"catch effort" used by whalers to compare the efficiency of a trip.) This
method can also be used to compare different trips, on different days,
locations, boats, etc.
Activity 7: Bathymetry
Using graph paper placed along each leg of the research track the
bottom topography can be plotted and displayed. Fold a piece of graph
paper along a line about one inch from the edge of the paper. Place the
graph paper on the track line drawn on the chart and using a predetermined
scale for depth on the vertical axis, plot the depth of the bottom on the
(vertical) Y-axis vs. appropriate/convenient points on the (horizontal) X-axis.
Connect the strip profiles for each leg of the cruise together to show the
bottom topography of the entire trip.
Return to the bottom topography profile and note where on the
surface what species were sighted and what the behavior observed was, i.e.
feeding, logging, traveling, etc. Is there a pattern of behavior of the whales
or the location of the whales to the bottom topography? Are sightings
usually made over a specific type of bottom? Analyze the data from your
trip.
Activity 8: Topographic Model of the Bottom
Construct a model of Stellwagen Bank. Draw lines perpendicular to the
ridge line of the bank about one inch apart. Have students use graph paper
to make a profile of the bottom on each line. Glue the graph paper to pieces
of cardboard and cut out the profiles. Line the cardboard profiles up one
inch apart in clay or similar substance to hold up the cardboard, and cover
with damp cloth or paper. Press the cloth or paper down gently to the
contour of the cardboard, allow to dry, and spray with paint and allow to
dry. Use your imagination!
Activity 9: Analysis of Whale Watch Data
Suggestions for analysis: (1) compare "catch efforts" (number of
sightings of a species for each hour on the whale watch) for different days,
different species, etc.; (2) compare the range of behaviors of species on a
given day; (3) compare data for Jeffrey's Ledge and Stellwagen Bank on a
given day or week; (4) compare numbers of cow/calf pairs on given days;
(5) calculate the number of whales with killer whale scars; (6) compare the
depths where the different species were observed; (7) compare where most
of the sightings were, on the bank or ledge, over the deep water, etc. or
(8) compare numbers of sightings vs. sea state, cloud cover, wind velocity,
etc.
Activity 10: Analysis of Marine Pollution
Collect data on pollution and floating debris by using a data sheet
similar to the marine mammal data sheet, but substitute Object for Species
and Composition for Grouping. Up-load the data using the same procedure as
for the marine mammals but use Pollution Data in place of Data in the
subject header. We will also be collecting Coast Sweep data in the future.
Activity 11: Analysis of Pelagic Birds
Collect data on pelagic birds by using a data sheet similar to the
marine mammal data sheet. Up-load the information by substituting Bird
Data in the subject header.
** NON-WHALE WATCHING CLASSROOMS **
If you are one of the classrooms not going on a whale watch but using
the whale watch data, use the data sheets to copy data off of the WhaleNet
Bulletin Board. You can then use the data in the same way as those that did
go on an actual whale watch.
