Grey whales (Eschrichtius robustus) were located and photographed along the southern Central Coast of British Columbia during the summer months of 1994 to 1999. By the end of the 1999 field season, some 70-odd animals had been identified, along with several critical feeding areas along the mainland shore of Queen Charlotte Sound, between Allison Harbour and Duncanby Landing.

The authors would like to acknowledge the participation of CERF research crews, both staff and volunteers, without whom this study would not have been possible. We would also like to thank those who contributed photographs - their names appear on their photos.

This study was funded by the many people who participated in our eco-tourism programme, by donations from individuals and companies, and by salary grants from the Canadian and British Columbia governments. Many thanks to all.
