My name is Jake Parker. I am a photographer and videographer from Cameras for Conservation and as well as being a photographer on the Living Ocean Whale Research team.

Being a member of this team is truly an honour.

Saturday dawned bright and clear. Blue skies, light wind and minimal swell. A most perfect day to be out on the Ocean. The Living Ocean Marine research team led by Bill Fulton met on board MV SALT for our Humpback Whale Migration Research trial run and were thrilled when skipper Mark Farrell announced it was a perfect day to look for whales, so training would continue offshore.
