Our science helps promote understanding of Endangered humpback whales and other marine mammals that traverse Niue’s waters. The more we understand about these creatures, the more we can improve their conservation and management across their range, spanning eight countries and territories. Niue is concerned about their ocean resources and is focused on creating a marine spatial plan that drives conservation and sustainable use of the entire 316,584 km2 exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Collecting data about the whale movements is essential to protect these animals and managing tourism interactions to support Niue’s global profile as a pristine eco-tourism destination. _ Filmed, edited and produced by: Richard Sidey / Galaxiid www.richardsidey.com / www.galaxiid.com Underwater photography courtesy of: Brooke Davis – https://www.linkedin.com/in/brooke-ryan-davis/ Aliscia Young – www.alisciayoung.com Special thanks to: Thanks to our partners who supported this work: Niue DAFF Oma Tafua New Zealand Government Vaughan Wellington US Department of Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Whaleology Tofia Niue Whale data animation: NOAA
