Rarotonga in the Cook Islands
Views of Rarotonga, Cook Islands, in the South Pacific.
Greenpeace are in this area as part of a campaign called the “Great Whale Trail” which involves the tagging of humpback whales. Tagging will to produce important information on the movements and migratory destinations of humpback whales from small, un-recovered populations off the Rarotonga (Cook Islands) and New Caledonia. This can be communicated as a non-lethal scientific research and is a contrast to Japan's unnecessary lethal "research" in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

Great Whale Trail Project
The Great Whale Trail is a collaborative project between Greenpeace and scientists working on humpback whales in the South Pacific. The whales have been tagged in order to produce important information on the movements and migratory destinations of humpback whales from small, un-recovered populations off the Rarotonga (Cook Islands) and New Caledonia. Greenpeace is communicating this critical non-lethal scientific research to the wider public as part of their campaign against Japan's unnecessary lethal "research" in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
