The book 'Humpback Whales in Glacier Bay National Monument, Alaska' primarily focuses on providing detailed information about humpback whales inhabiting Glacier Bay. It covers topics such as whale identification (including visual cues and potential photo identification), descriptions of typical whale behaviors observed (like breaching, tail lobbing, spyhopping, tail slapping), and the context of these behaviors within the bay's ecosystem. It also discusses the habitat, migration patterns, and ecological role of these whales within GBNM. The book likely aims to serve as a practical tool for whale watching tour operators, naturalists, tourists, and researchers visiting the area, helping them better understand and appreciate the whale encounters they experience or study.
