Participation in the Icon project comes at no financial cost. It is, however, hoped that councils and community groups will work together to adopt a whale and organise an event to announce the adopted whale within their community.

It is recommended that councils or community groups identify a lead person to coordinate their involvement in the Humpback Icon Project.

Designated coordinators and interested individuals should then contact Belinda Bennett-Gow:
