T he annual return to Hawaiian waters of the humpback whales — named for the motion they make as they arch their backs out of the water in preparation for a dive — is one of the most
anticipated times in the islands, both for visitors and for residents. When we see the spouting, tail slapping, and athletic, full-body leaps from the water, even the locals stop by the side of the road, or pause what they’re doing to watch in gleeful wonder.
It’s painful to imagine, but these gentle giants who visit Hawai`i between November and March were once hunted close to extinction by whalers. The practice was sustainable — even if repulsive by today’s standards — through the 1850s and ‘60s. But once explosive harpoons were introduced in the late 19th century, the kill rate increased dramatically, and consequently the population of humpback whales saw a sharp decline.
Nowadays there are an estimated 140,000 humpback whales in the world’s oceans. This encouraging recovery was largely brought about when the International Whaling Commission gave the humpbacks protected status in 1966. Still, the number is only 30 - 35 percent of the species’ original population; and while stocks have partially recovered, today’s challenges include entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships, and noise pollution associated with sonar blasting the U.S. Navy was conducting until a recent agreement limiting the practice was reached.
A typical adult humpback weighs 40 tons, and lives 45-50 years. During their annual migration from summer feeding grounds near the poles to warmer winter breeding waters closer to the Equator, they travel some 3,100 miles at speeds of three to nine mph. They can travel up to 1,000 miles per month.
LEFT AND ABOVE: Whale watch cruises, such as those offered by Ocean Sports, offer guests an exciting opportunity to see the humpbacks during their annual winter migration to Hawai`i.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 NEWSASIAN FESTOn Friday, February 5, Queens' MarketPlace came alive with the exciting rhythms of Taiko drummers and the pageantry of the Lion Dancers, as Waikoloa Beach Resort welcomed the Year of the Monkey.
Revelers brought lycee (red envelopes) ready with “lettuce” to feed the Lion and ensure good health and fortune in 2016. Queens' MarketPlace restaurants set up booths in the courtyard and served delicious cuisine to more than 1,000 attendees.
Throughout the month of February, Waikoloa Beach Resort — from Hilton Grand Vacations Club, Kohala Suites and Bay Club, to the Kings’ Shops and Waikoloa Beach Marriott and Spa — welcomed the Year of the Monkey with festive celebrations and Lion Dancers.
The 25th annual Amer Ari Invitational collegiate golf tournament was contested over The Kings’ Course at Waikoloa Beach Resort on February 4-6, 2016. The USC Trojans team (pictured left) emerged victorious with a cumulative score of 29-under-par, besting crosstown rival UCLA by 2 strokes.
The individual medal was awarded to Aaron Wise of Oregon, whose stellar three-round tally of 16-under-par earned him top honors over Rico Hoey of USC (-14) and Maverick McNealy (-13) of Stanford.
A Wednesday night lu'au, hosted by Hawai'i County Mayor Billy Kenoi, welcomed all 18 participating teams to the island. Plaques commemorating their invaluable contributions were given to several of the people most responsible for the founding and continuing success of the tournament. Special recognition was given to Coach Earl Tamiya of UH Hilo, for his many years of service.
Past participants of the Amer Ari Intercollegiate tournament who have gone on to PGA Tour success include Jordan Spieth, Matt Kuchar, Jim Furyk, and others.
NN: We most often think of humpbacks as the primary species frequenting Hawaiian waters, but there are several other species also, correct?MUCHIN: Humpbacks are the whales who migrate here, but as many as 18 different species of cetaceans live around the islands year-round. We encounter some of them frequently (like spinner dolphins), though most of the others live in deeper water (like sperm whales). But we do see some species like melon head whales, spotted dolphins, false killer whales, and pilot whales on occasion in the coastal waters.
NN: Climate change and warming seas are (pardon the pun) hot topics ... how do these phenomena affect the humpbacks’ migration patterns?MUCHIN: We’re not really sure. Climate change may have had something to do with the later arrival of the whales this year … but we did start seeing them frequently on our charters by December 15th. Up until about four years ago, we didn’t even begin operating whale watch charters until that date because the whales hadn’t arrived until then. So actually, the earlier arrival of the humpbacks the past couple of years may have been the aberration ... and what we saw this year may have been the norm.
NN: How do those same conditions affect the health of the whales and their food sources generally?MUCHIN: That’s a complex question with a complex answer. Many of the small prey fish (like herrings and anchovies) have been schooling nearer to shore in the past year, so that’s where the whales have been found. Everything in the ocean is interrelated.
NN: What are some of the other risks to the whale population these days? Navy sonar? Hunting? Ocean trash/plastics? MUCHIN: All of the above. Also ship strikes, since the humpback population has increased, more whales are swimming in the shipping lanes. Big ships (like cargo ships) don’t often see the whales and have run into them.
NN: What are some of the main messages you try to get across to visitors on a whale watching cruise? MUCHIN: We try to get our guests involved in the excitement of seeing the humpbacks and sharing the ocean with them. We’ve found that humpbacks themselves are the ones sharing the important messages.
One of the best ways to learn more about and watch the whales more closely is through a whale watch cruise, offered at Waikoloa Beach Resort by Ocean Sports (hawaiioceansports.com), a company that has been working in Hawai`i since 1981. We asked Claire Muchin, a consultant and naturalist on the Ocean Sports boats, to share some insights on the humpbacks.
NAUPAKA NEWS: The whales are late arriving in Hawai`i this year ... what would cause that?MUCHIN: Researchers aren’t sure. Some posit that the water stayed warmer longer in the northern areas where the whales feed, so they stayed longer to take advantage of the available calories. Others theorize that the whales migrated on their “normal” schedule, but stayed further offshore when they got to the main Hawaiian Islands because the coastal waters were “uncomfortably warm.”
NN: Does that also mean they will be staying longer than usual?MUCHIN: The whales migrate to Hawai`i just to mate, calve, and take care of calves. As soon as they’re able to accomplish the particular task they came here to do, they’ll most likely leave (to get back to the food). We’ll know more sometime in May!
NN: Describe the migration ... where do the whales go, and when?MUCHIN: The humpbacks that come to Hawai`i are part of the North Pacific population (there are 11 distinct populations who live in each of the world’s oceans). Of the approximately 20,000 - 22,000 North Pacific Humpbacks, about two-thirds come to Hawai`i. (The rest migrate to waters off of Baja California or the Southern Islands of Japan). For the most part, the humpbacks that come to Hawai`i migrate directly north and spend their summers off the coast of Alaska (from the Gulf of Alaska to the Aleutian Islands). Migration to Hawai`i from Alaska begins in autumn. Interestingly, individual humpbacks will not spend an entire winter here. They may spend as little as two weeks here before heading back … and if a female mates successfully on the way to Hawai`i, she may turn around and swim back to Alaska without even reaching the islands.
