E14: Encounters with Humpbacks
Whales-online speaks with Mike Donoghue, Senior International Relations Officer with New Zealand’s Department of Conservation. Mike has contributed decades of commitment to Pacific whale conservation as both a whale biologist and government official.
Mike’s contribution and commitment to conservation of whales in this region is significant, but he has never lost his ability to speak to us all at the level that connects.
In this interview we were pleased to have Mike explain the ‘art’ of whale field research and the collection of key data – tail flukes, genetic material and recordings of humpback whale song – it is rare to have such research explained in such an accessible way. It is clear throughout that Mike retains reverence for his subject.
