Volunteer Placement & Roster

Humpbacks & High-Rises is an independent not for profit research organisation dedicated to the research and protection of whales and dolphins in south-east Quensland. We focus our research and protection strategies on coastal impacts caused by urbanization for the benefits of marine mammals and the urban communities.
Our mission is to ensure present and future generations of the community have access to enjoy, appreciate and care for Humpback whales and other charismatic marine mammals.
We aim to provide adaptation strategies for whales in urbanised waters and bring the community closer to the whales and sustain whale watching at the Gold Coast for future generations.
