Pacific Whale Foundation retrieved a rare, nearly intact whale placenta—the second full specimen recovered in Hawai‘i—and will analyze it for measurements and biological samples to better understand whale reproductive health, a find supported by the Quicksilver crew and UH Health and Stranding Lab under proper permits with respectful bio-cultural handling.
Volunteers from the Pacific Whale Foundation are providing vital aid to the fire-ravaged town of Lahaina and surrounding communities in Maui, Hawaii, after the devastating fires left them without power or phone coverage. Despite being a self-reliant community, residents are questioning the lack of support from nearby Oahu and the absence of resources such as helicopters. The volunteers are making multiple daily trips by boat to deliver supplies, but the slow and disorganized coordination due to communication issues is hindering relief efforts. The community is calling for urgent assistance and asking those in need to reach out to the Pacific Whale Foundation for help.
