PBS Documentary: Founder of HABIT works with Jean-Michel Cousteau

In The Gray Whale Obstacle Course, Jean-Michel Cousteau and the Ocean Adventures team travel the length of this migration, from the warm waters of Magdelena Bay in Baja California

To track the whales on this journey, the Cousteau team welcomes satellite tracking expert Dr. Jeff Goodyear, of H.A.B.I.T. Research, and marine scientist Dr. Jorge Urban, of the Universidad de Baja Sur. Jeff has designed a harmless transmitter to track the whales. The transmitters are attached to whales with a harpoon-like device that penetrates only the whales' skin and upper blubber layer, without causing discomfort.
where the gray whales give birth, nurse their calves, rest and play before their long journey north, to the nutrient-rich feeding grounds of the Bering Sea in Alaska.
