Festival of Whales Guide 2024

BY MAYOR JAMEY FEDERICO

Mayor’s Message

WELCOME TO THE 53RD ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF WHALES

How lucky are we to celebrate the beauty and majesty of the whales that migrate along the Dana Point coastline this time of year? The city is honored to be the home for the Festival of Whales. It’s more than a celebration. This year, the festival includes the participation of many vital nonprofit groups in Dana Point and Orange County.

More than 15 of our local nonprofits will participate in the Festival of Whales Parade on Saturday morning. Many of these organizations use the parade to let the public know about the good work they are doing in the community, while giving back through participation and volunteering.

Highlights will include youth from the Boys and Girls Club, Marines from our adopted 5th Marine Regiment, our friends from our Friendship City, Sorrento, Italy, all marching in the parade.

Numerous nonprofit organizations will host fundraisers and educational opportunities throughout the festival. For example, you can support some great local groups by attending the Whales, Tails & Ales event benefiting the Pet Project Foundation, as well as joining in the tasting at the Clam Chowder Cook-Off that will benefit Fish for Life. The Marine Corps League will be hosting the spirit garden at Sunday’s concert and the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be barbecuing, with proceeds going to Dana Hills Athletics.

Don’t forget the Rotary Club’s Little Pirates Treasure Hunt and the always-entertaining Cardboard Classic and Dinghy Dash.

I look forward to seeing everyone at this year’s Festival of Whales, and thank you in advance for your support of our community’s nonprofits.

LOCAL DESIGNERS SUBMIT WINNING 2024 FESTIVAL LOGO

BY KEVIN CAPAROSO

William Scott and Andy Boice are the creative partners behind Unsung Studio, which won the logo design contest for the 53rd annual Festival of Whales. Scott and Boice live in Dana Point, but the duo runs their agency in San Clemente, offering a slew of creative services to clients that include web design and branding.

“Contests like this are fun for us to kind of get outside of our bubble of working for clients and do something a little bit more creative,” Scott said. When they saw the logo design announced, they were immediately inspired. “What we initially kind of resonated with was an old encyclopedia. Like older technical drawings when people were first identifying whales or making signage.”

After bouncing back and forth between the cities they work and live in over the last 12 years, they recognize and appreciate the rich maritime history and surf culture that both are rooted in. As longtime Festival attendees, both Scott and Boice are honored to have had their design chosen as the winner this year.

They are looking forward to seeing their designs reflected at the various events and are always on the lookout to help other nonprofits with branding or projects.

A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF A GRAY WHALE

BY NONA REIMER, NATURALIST FOR DANA WHARF WHALE WATCHING

Sensing a change in the hours of daylight across the western horizon, a female Gray Whale’s instinctual rhythms indicate that it is time to begin its annual migration. It is October, and this Gray Whale is pregnant. She will leave the cold arctic waters above Alaska, the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, and travel to the warmer shallow lagoons of Baja California.

Gray Whales must leave their summer feeding grounds at the first onset of winter. If these waters freeze over, they will drown. Whales are mammals and as such, must surface, exhale and inhale through their double blow holes, to fill their lungs with oxygen from the air. During late October, the entire population of Gray Whales begins the longest annual migration of any mammal. They leave the arctic waters and travel upward of 6,000 miles or more to their winter home in Mexico.

Gestation for the female whale, known as a cow, is 12 to 13 months. On the previous migration the year before, she became pregnant and carried the calf inside her during the northern migration and summer feeding. Upon returning to the seas above Alaska, she has used every opportunity to feed from the ocean’s floor to nourish herself and her growing calf.

Gray Whales are baleen whales filtering their food through the rows of baleen plates that hang from their upper jaw like a broom or a brush. Unlike other baleen whales, Grays are unique in that they feed solely from the ocean’s benthic zone. Meaning, they feed on small organisms such as amphipods, mollusks and crustaceans, (shrimp-like organisms, tube worms, crabs) found on the ocean floor. Most scientists surmise that Gray Whales do little to no feeding during their seven-month migration up and down the Pacific Coast. The baby has grown utilizing the energy stored in the mother’s lipid-filled layers of blubber. Now on her southern migration, she will give birth. This female Gray Whale has left the arctic waters intent on giving birth to her young in the protected lagoons of Baja California, in particular, Scammon’s Lagoon, San Ignacio Lagoon or Magdalena Bay.

Almost 50% of the pregnant whales never reach the lagoons before giving birth along the southern coast of California. Ocean temperatures are warm enough for these calves to survive, but they will need to build up their own layer of blubber.

A baby Gray Whale can gain as much as 50 pounds per day feeding on its mother’s rich milk, which contains over 90% fat. Born at approximately 1 ton and 12 feet long, a baby Gray will grow as much as a foot per month. This growth is necessary to provide both nourishment and insulation for the young

Gray whale to travel. After spending almost two months in the Mexican lagoon nurseries feeding, growing and learning from its mother, the calf will now have the necessary skills to swim alongside her during the 6,000-mile migration back to the summer feeding grounds. This is no easy task for the mother. The process of carrying her young and supplying the calf with much-needed nourishment has depleted her own body of energy and strength. Still, she is driven to make this migration as whales have done for centuries and centuries.

They will swim at speeds of 3 to 5 miles per hour around the clock. This migration is not without danger. A Gray Whale’s natural predator is the Orca. Killer Whales can be found waiting to attack and feed on young Grays. One of the most dangerous crossings for this cow/calf pair will be the deep waters of Monterrey Bay. If the cow can get her calf to Northern California, there is a good chance that she and her young will survive. They will pass through the Bering Straits, and arrive at their summer feeding grounds two months after leaving the lagoons. The mother will have lost almost 30% of her body weight during this entire migration, and she is ready to ween her calf.

What was a fiercely strong cow/calf bond is now broken. The young calf will be on its own to begin feeding with other whales along the ocean’s floor. For the mother, she too will feed around the clock for the next four to five months before migrating south, hopefully becoming pregnant again, and starting the cycle of life anew.

For those fortunate to get out on the Pacific waters and go whale watching, Gray Whales can be seen passing by our coast on their southern migration during the months of late December through February and then on their northern migration late February through April and May. Gray Whales are coastal navigators rarely swimming more than a mile or two from shore. How do they find their way year after year on this 12,000-mile journey? Scientists believe they follow the contours of the ocean floor, while others believe they recognize coastal land features. Still others think they might even be celestial navigators. However they do it, year after year, we are fortunate to see their heart-shaped blows as they surface to breathe, observe the barnacle-encrusted rostrums as they lift their heads from the waters, and delight in seeing their dorsal ridges arc out of the water as they present their flukes (tail) above the ocean’s surface before sounding to travel submerged for several minutes.

Please join us this year during the Festival of Whales as we celebrate these amazing creatures. If you are most fortunate, maybe, just maybe, you will see a cow/calf pair swimming past Dana Point Harbor. provide
