Gray Whale Migration Challenge

The Whalemometer is back!

Help a gray whale mom and calf travel from Baja’s calving lagoons along our coast and on to their Arctic feeding grounds.

All of March, your donations to the Noyo Center will support the Gray Whale Migration Challenge, helping this mother and calf “arrive” while advancing our work to study, protect, and connect our community with marine wildlife and the sea.

Every $1 moves them one mile.

Check back weekly to follow and support their progress.

Join us for special gatherings during the March Whale Fest with renowned scientists who study gray whales along their migration route. Learn about the latest discoveries, the challenges gray whales face, and the extraordinary resilience of this remarkable species.

Visit our Whale Fest 2026 webpage for a full list of Gray Whale Migration Challenge events and other whale-themed outings and programs in March and April.
