Program aligns with State Science Curriculum Standards

Dee, The Beautiful Humpback Whale Ambassador

Dee, a 43-foot life-size replica of a humpback whale, features internal organs which students can appreciate by entering her body!

Learn about whale anatomy, adaptations, stormwater pollution, and marine debris and how students can make positive changes

to protect marine inhabitants. Students learn how whales communicate and feed. Through a collection of whale artifacts, students

can touch baleen, and can view krill (whale food). Participants will become “junior scientists” by observing similarities and differences

between whales and us. Be amazed by the story of Dee and how she is an anti-bullying ambassador. Your students will be inspired

to conserve and protect our oceans where these incredible mammals live.

Program Reviews

“Dee the Whale was a fantastic interactive and engaging program! By being able to walk through Dee, my students left

with a deeper understanding of whales, their structure and the role humans play in their lives. This was a unique and

memorable experience for my kids as they have continued to talk about its impact for days after.”

Kim Cornfield, Grade 4 Teacher, International School of Monterey

“Maris and the Save the Whales staff are enthusiastic, wonderful people who engage the children in learning about whales

and about how our everyday choices can impact marine mammals. In an interactive 45 minutes, the staff covered

everything from whale anatomy and sounds to watersheds and storm drains, and how everything ends up in the ocean.”

Blair Cronin, Grade 4 Teacher, All Saints’ Day School

“If someone is fortunate enough to see a whale in the wild, it is usually from a long distance, and never from the inside. Dee

the Beautiful Whale affords school children the unprecedented opportunity to view a whale from the inside and to feel its

immensity.”
