Oregon State Parks will host Spring Whale Watch Week along the Oregon Coast Saturday, March 23 through Sunday, March 31, 2024
Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, the tTrained Oregon State Park volunteers will reportedly be stationed at 15 sites along the Oregon Coast to help visitors spot whales and their calves and answer questions from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily March 23-31.
The sites are some of the best places to watch for whales on the Oregon Coast.
The spring event is three days longer than last year and might include better odds of seeing gray whales on their journey home from the calving lagoons in Mexico in light of the announcement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
NOAA announced the end of an Unusual Mortality Event, a significant die-off of the gray whale population, that had affected the marine mammals since 2019.
Researchers counted about 412 calves last year, which was almost double the number from the year before.
That helped signal an end to the Unusual Mortality Event and a likely turnaround in numbers as the species begins to rebound.
