About this catalog…
This free resource is organized by Juneau Flukes, a non-profit dedicated to
research, education, and community that focuses on humpback whales in the
Juneau area. This catalog includes a combinations of photographs from permitted
research cruises and from citizen science and web-contributed sources.
*******
Suzie Teerlink, Ph.D. – is the founder of Juneau Flukes. She has committed much of her career to humpback whale
research and management. She also works for NOAA Fisheries as a Marine Mammal Specialist, works on management of
marine mammal and fisheries interactions and coordinates the Whale SENSE program for the Alaska Region.
Additional support compiling this catalog:
Gabrille Lopez – Gabrille has been participating in marine mammal research for 7 years.
Kim Ramos – Kim has been following whales from Hawaii to Alaska and back again since 2013.
Scott Ranger – Scott has been studying humpback whales since 2009 and is the Lead Science
Guide for Gastineau Guiding.
Special THANK YOU to:
Gastineau Guiding Co. for their substantial data contributions.
Alaska Luxury tours and AK*Zen for their donations.
Happywhale for partnering to match Juneau whales around the world.
*Previous iterations of this catalog have been supported by
NOAA Fisheries and University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Tips
When possible, use the trailing edge when matching flukes. The peaks and valleys
tend to persist through the whale’s life and can help you identify it.
You can lighten a photo by changing the exposure and/or contrast. This will often
help to reveal markings on a fluke that may otherwise be difficult to see.
It often helps to rotate the photo so the flukes are horizontal in the frame and crop
the photo (maintain a 2x3 ratio). Always keep a copy of the original!
Matching your own fluke photos
When Matching
Flukes
Pay attention to both the coloration and SHAPE of the flukes
Scars can be acquired and can fade over time.
White coloration scars black and black coloration scars white.
Dark photos can hide markings. Below are 2 photos of
the same whale in different lighting. Be sure to also look
at the trailing edge of flukes when matching.
Photo ID allows us to track humpback
whales individuals non-invasively
Photo ID can tell us about:
• Migration and movements
• Site fidelity (or tendency to return to and
stay in the same areas)
• Relationships with other whales
• Age and longevity
• Reproductive success
• Life history
• Behavior (for example, which ones tend
to be in bubble net feeding groups)
• Population estimates
• And much more…
How to Use This Catalog
There are 206 individual humpback whale flukes in
this catalog taken between 2006-2018, arranged
whitest to darkest. The (YEAR) in the notes is the first
year that whale was added to the Juneau Flukes
Catalog.
The whales seen in the Juneau area are part of a
larger, Southeast Alaska feeding aggregation and
move in and out of the Juneau area. For a more
comprehensive catalog of Southeast Alaska
humpback whales – visit www.alaskahumpbacks.org.
IDs here that 3-4 numbers are SEAK IDs from the
Southeast Alaska catalog, and those with longer IDs
are not yet cataloged in the SEAK catalog and are
referenced by their www.happywhale.com ID number.
Many photos on this site were taken under scientific
research permit and/or with telephoto lenses. Non-
permitted individuals need to adhere to all whale
watching regulations and cannot approach a whale
closer than 100 yards in Alaskan waters.
Want to keep tabs on the whales you’ve seen?Juneau Flukes is proud to partner with Happywhale!
To learn more about the whales you see, or track them through time, consider uploading your fluke photos to: www.happywhale.com
All whales cataloged by Juneau Flukes are in the Happywhaledatabase and Happywhale shares sightings back to Juneau Flukes!
