WCS scientists are amongst the world's top specialists on genetic whale research. The Wildlife catamaran serves as a whale-tracking platform, assisting scientists in sampling wild whale DNA. The extracted whale skin tissue is then analyzed in specialized genetics laboratories at WCS's New York headquarters.
School children learn how whale genes shed light on who these mysterious massive mammals are and how they live. Distance learning is conducted through the Wildlife catamaran's satellite and Internet technologies, while local children participate in workshops on the boat.
