We collected 116 humpback whale tissue samples to be used for genetic and hormone analysis. We also dedicated 7 days to Bryde's whales and made 6 Bryde's whale sightings and collected 1 Bryde's whale tissue sample. We conducted two community outreach talks to educate local naturalists and captains about best practices for whale watching, and one talk to a local community to educate them on marine conservation issues.

We also attempted to attach a tag to a Bryde's whale but were unsuccessful. In 2024 we also purchased equipment for Low Impact Minimally Percutaneous Electronic Transmitter (LIMPET) tags, although no field work with these tags was conducted. 0 19335 50794 Kristin Rasmussen President 20.00 0 0 0 Laura May-Collado Secretary/Treasurer 2.00 0 0 0 Matthew Leslie Vice President 5.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN Kristin Rasmussen 1554 Delaware Ave Saint Paul MN 55118 3604814616 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 40792 42417 95047 75000 45010 298266 40792 42417 95047 75000 45010 298266 249658 48608 3024 3024 301290 0.16130 0.12710 X The organization is continuing its public charity status by meeting the 10% facts and circumstances test.
