Advertiser Staff
Volunteers turned out across the state today to take part in the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Count.
More than 1,500 volunteers turned out for the count last year. Today, people were expected to be at about 60 sites statewide on O'ahu, Kaua'i, the Big Island and Kaho'olawe.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it expects to have statistics later today on the number of whales sighted.
