The
following corporations have generously supported CCRC
by donating services
and product
Thanks to IFAW,
the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium has been
able to continue their cutting edge research in Australia,
New Zealand, Tonga, New Caledonia, French Polynesia
and the Cook Islands. Special thanks to Mick McIntyre.
Thanks to Westpac
Banking Corporation in Rarotonga
for their kind donation to the Cook Islands Whale Research
and professional research assistant, Terry Smith. 
Thanks
to Wayne Barclay of Pacific
Marine Charters, Rarotonga. who has provided us
with invaluable support since 1999 through his countless
informed whale sightings.
Uglyfish
Productions created the original whaleresearch.org.
Without the vision and generosity of Uglyfish co-founder
Gerard Sullivan, CCRC's website would consist of a couple
of still photos and white papers. For an eye-opener
on web design check out Uglyfish's
other creations. Contact

Without our Maui Jim
sunglasses, we couldn't do the work we do. We have used
countless polarized sunglasses over the years, and none
enable us to see whales through the surface like our
Maui Jims. The secret lies in their unique polarization
technology, resulting in glare reduction unparalleled
in other sunglasses. We don't leave shore without them!
Without Society
Expeditions, CCRC could
not have initiated the Cook Islands Humpback Survey
at Palmerston Atoll.
Because Palmerston is so isolated, 4-6 months often
go by without a ship visiting the atoll. Society Expeditions'
adventure cruise ship M/V
World Discoverer
is one of the few regular visitors at Palmerston.
Generally the ship stops at Palmerston twice a year
for several hours, a favorite stop among guests and
crew alike. For two years Society Expeditons has
picked up CCRC researchers at Palmerston and carried
them to Rarotonga
via Aitutaki.
Quite simply, CCRC couldn't have surveyed Palmerston's
whale-rich waters during the 1998 and 1999 humpback
breeding seasons without Society Expedions generously
donating passage aboard the M/V World Discoverer.
