A beautiful fall day aboard Jersey Girl with about 65 passengers, including the MTMS Eco Explorers from Manchester Township Middle School!
We headed south toward Bay Head, where we encountered a familiar humpback whale, recognizable by its distinctive dorsal fin and healed propeller scars. The whale was actively feeding among the fishing boats before moving north, giving us a chance to enjoy watching it away from the fleet. We also spotted dolphins along the way!
Having the students aboard made the day even more special. There’s something wonderful about watching kids experience a whale in the wild and discover just how much marine life lives right off our New Jersey beaches. An ocean classroom is hard to beat! 🌊
Thank you to the students and teachers from Manchester Township for joining us and sharing your adventure. We loved having the Eco Explorers aboard Jersey Girl and look forward to welcoming you back next year!
