Be a Hero for Whales

Why does your support matter? You see, the health of animals like whales, our ocean and humans are interconnected. Yet the greatest threats to whales are caused by humans.

We’ve made positive impacts before—like freeing whales from ocean trash and conducting vital research that led to shipping lane changes—all because of this caring community.

Today, you can get your gift matched and help provide double the tools and resources experts need to continue this critical work. Together, we can protect these gentle giants and their ocean home.

Michael Adamson

Response Dispatcher

In his role as Response Dispatcher, Mike answers calls to our California rescue hotline, coordinating the appropriate responses in our northern range, and empowering and supporting teams at our field offices in their response work. 

Mike has worked as a water and climate science writer for the last six years and as a Friday Night Topside Crew volunteer for the last five years. He brings a wealth of environmental knowledge and public communication experience to the Field Operations & Response department. 

When not working, Mike is trying to get outside as soon as possible, where he can be seen flopping along underwater in scuba gear, stumbling around above water while sailing in San Francisco Bay, flailing about above ground on various rock formations and gesticulating wildly while photographing elephant seals at Piedras Blancas.
