This is number 31 in a projected series of 100 life-size murals in 100 different cities around the world by the year 2011, dedicated to the great whales and saving our oceans. It depicts 12 migrating whales. The annual 10,000 mile round-trip migration of the Pacific Gray Whale from the Bering Sea to the warm lagoons of Baja California and back again to the arctic circle, with their newborn babies alongside, happens every winter and brings the whales close to Redondo Beach s shoreline. Volunteer naturalists from the American Cetacean Society narrate the three-hour excursions and answer passengers questions. In addition to Gray Whales, passengers are likely to see dolphins, sharks, sea lions, and a variety of birds.
Warm clothing is recommended.
Trips leave from the sportfishing pier in Redondo Beach Marina, at 233 N. Harbor Drive.
