Miranda Richardson
I’ve seen whales calving in the waters off Maui, and I’ve watched my children being born. But music is the most beautiful thing of all.

New England waters are some of my favorite – they are some of the richest waters because they are temperate waters and nutrient-rich, and therefore provide food for so many animals, from giant whales to sharks to everything else.

Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices: Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge, came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin.

Brian Skerry
Let me say right off the bat that I’m not what you would call a ‘tree hugger’ or a ‘bushes and bunnies’ environmentalist out to save the planet or the whales – although I do not denigrate that perspective either, and I really like whales.

I typically shoot underwater with my regular camera in an underwater housing, and then I usually have two big strobes that I use to light. But with whales, you’re not going to be able to really light a 45-foot subject. Your strobes are only effective for maybe five or six feet underwater.

Paul Watson

The film ‘The Cove’ made people aware of the Japanese slaughter of whales.
