Support our Mission

We're always trying to make a bigger splash! Your support helps us forward our mission to research, educate about, and advocate for marine mammals near NYC through Citizen Science.

We are a non-profit citizen scientist organization supported by YOUR volunteer efforts and generous donations.

Since 2009, Gotham Whale has been an all volunteer effort, combining the interest and enthusiasm of many dedicated individuals. The cataloging of individual whales, mapping their location, and maintaining a database for this research takes effort and expense. Gotham Whale is hopeful that your donations will sustain this important work as more and more whales come to the waters of NYC.
