— Strengthen Ocean Stewardship
Donate today!
From Dr. Payne’s discovery that whales sing to Dr. Iain Kerr’s innovative use of drones to collect biological data from whales, Ocean Alliance has been pioneering benign whale research for more than four decades. Your contribution strengthens stewardship of the oceans that began more than 50 years ago and will last for generations to come.

Professional support
There are several specific areas where we are looking for professional support.
- We are looking to build a floating building at our site in Gloucester. This building will host our floating innovation center. If you, or someone you know, is familiar with the architecture and permitting challenges of placing buildings on barges, complete our contact form and select subject ‘Support – Innovation Center’.
- The number of projects we can work on at present with our drone programming is greatly limited by restrictions on the kinds of drones that can be used in the United States. If you, or someone you know, is building, or has access to NDAA compliant drones, or if you would like to support our work by donating/buying a NDAA drone for us, complete our contact form and select subject ‘Support – NDAA Drone’.
- If there are other ways you believe you can support our work, we would love to hear from you! Fill out our contact form and select subject ‘Professional Support’.
Shop our wish list
We’ve created a wish list for items we use in our day-to-day operations and when we are out on expeditions. You can show your support by helping us acquire any of these materials and products by shopping our wish list.
Adopt a whale
Support us via our Adopt a Whale program. When you adopt a whale, you support the critical research Ocean Alliance is doing to conserve whales and their ocean habitat.
