Crittercam Campaign Australia

EARTHNATIVE was invited to shoot the attempt of the Humpback Whale Crittercam Deployment Mission with Ecoforce and the science based non-profit Humpback & Highrises on the Gold Coast, NSW, Australia. Utilizing the National Geographic "Crittercam", we carried the only permit in the Southern Hemisphere to safely attach the "crittercam" to a female humpback whale with calf in an attempt to gain scientific data along with video, sound, depth, salinity, temperature and gps coordinates of how the mother and calf behave off of Australian coast. So close!
