Our Mission

The California Gray Whale is the most ancient Baleen whale on Planet Earth and the last surviving population of a species which once inhabited many of the world's oceans.

The Gulf of Catalina Gray Whale Preservation & Education Foundation (GWF) is dedicated to educating children on the importance of this species.

We offer children an on-the-ocean expedition and experience that educates and inspires those that may not otherwise have an opportunity to ever feel the wind in their hair and the salty spray on their faces, much less the opportunity to learn how to collect data and help protect a species in danger of extinction.
