[E11] Nan Hauser - Whale Scientist

Nan Hauser, whale scientist, and adventurer sits down with old friend Greg Stone to share sea stories about research in the South Pacific. Nan has spent the last 21 years in the Cook Islands fascinated by the people, the culture, and its accessibility to whales. “Studying humpbacks, you can tell they have incredible respect for us, and we have for them. And they have let me into their world. That’s a privilege.” And Nan has acknowledged their acceptance by dedicating her life observing and trying to understand this amazing species. Her extensive research has provided Nan with important insights to aid in the protection of whales and their ability to survive and flourish.

[@fdpcompdm]

Thank God for people like Nan in the world!!! So much wisdom and kindness

[@Pilgrimdave1960]

I dont think that the whale just remembered her, I think that he was checking up on her.

[@Papin47]

Nan Houser: "We have to remember the ocean is the amniotic fluid, for all of us." 💙

[@davereid-daly2205]

Key to preserving the Oceans and the health of whales means reestablishing the worlds forests which provide both nutrient and fresh water to the sea. Great video and wonderful experiences.

[@yvonnelewis4888]

To the wildlife we owe a simple respect. We are losing SO MUCH, when dolphins, whales and all mammals in our waters are lost and endangered. How Incredible it is that they can Relate to US!! We are INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE. We must protect these beautiful lives.

[@canecorsomolosser3294]

[@cmt89497]

Oh wow. I haven't seen her in over a decade since I lived in Rarotonga. She looks stunning, her aura is absolutely captivating.

[@dandixon4034]

out law The human race is very selfish, thank you for standing up all the things that most people never understand

[@moonchild7963]

It’s our job as Humans to protect our World. It’s especially important to respect and be responsible for the things we do that affect all beautiful creatures. People like Nan and other Scientists who make it their life’s work to protect these creatures and educate us on how to help, can’t be the only heroes. If the Oceans and those creatures fade away, humans will be close behind. Please next time you see plastic or other trash in the water or the beach, grab it and dispose of it. Sign government petitions to help change laws that help all creatures. God Bless .

[@crin28]

Whales are pure magic. 💜

[@caroledaoust4976]

I am so happy to hear Nan Hauser you are so brave to do study the Wales God Bless You Nan

[@leroytrujillo11]

Her enthusiasm and love for the whales is infectious !!!

[@humpbackwhalesartphotograp1726]

You have seen babies being born????? Would you be able to document it and show the world??? I would love to see that. I went to Tonga last year and swam with the Humpbacks for the first time in my life, I have never experienced so many emotions in 1 minute. If ever you need an assistant, for photography, drive the boat, I would be honoured.

[@user370Z]

A wonderful interview which bought me to tears at one point. Thank you. From Oz

[@patiyer4134]

Amazing interview

[@dandixon4034]

The human race is very selfish thank you for standing up for what most people will never understand

[@MABO07]

She’s so amazing. It’s too bad the host of the show kept interrupting her so often when she was speaking and answering questions. It’s very unpleasant to be interrupted when you’re mid sentence and mid train of thought.

[@terrylaguardia6838]

Yes I don’t get why he keeps interrupting her so many times, it’s unbelievable. A good interviewer will focus on the interviewer, not keep drawing the spotlight to himself. She has so much to say and she says it so well, please let her talk!

[@urogallolibre8299]

He wants attention for himself, an arrogant-chauvinistic behaviour.

[@pisachanation414]

Well it's his show, so he figures he can interupt. It's rude, but that's a certain kind of man. One who is so wrapped up in what he does, so damn everyone else....full speed ahead!

[@chametake7713]

very fascinating.

[@braveheartlioness]

That whale is an angel.

[@sandyjones4393]

Thank God for you. I love what you're doing. My new heroes are you, Ingrid Visser, and Lori Marino. I'm your humble servannt. omg

[@dandixon4034]

Evolution or creation, I tend to believe in both, because you’re not the same person that you were 40 years ago All of us all are involving Situation thank you very much for your work because I believe you care

[@frankyknoettner6503]

thank you

[@CyclingBatteries]

Hey nan its only been 20 years, I helped you get soem filming done for your film hunt for the rarest whale made with the dutch producer . im wonderirng if you still have a link to the movie by any chance? lmk long story been working in USA for many years, also Mexico where i had a dive opperation until covid, hope your well. great to see you still domng what your doing.

[@monkmell]

I believe it’s because they are acutely connected to consciousness...in other words, the maker of everything we see, hear touch or smell. Quantum physics is getting a lot better at explaining how these wave frequencies “work” by way of atoms and even smaller articles that I can’t remember now for the life of me! Beautiful gect..💦🌊🐳🐋🐬🦈🦭🐟🐠🐡🐙🦑🦐🦞🦀💦 ❤️

Thank you you are wonderful and beautiful

[@pisachanation414]

Do they sometimes deviate from their patterns to go where their food is?

[@pisachanation414]

She's the Jane Good all of whales. I wish I had known about what she does 40 years ago. I was a member of the Cousteau Society back the, and that Ocean Mammal Stranding Network though while I lived in fFlorida. I want to move back so one day soon!

[@omeryalcnsar2391]

Tebrik ediyorum.

[@jessegoodwin9334]

U did it🐳

[@chililow]

I appreciate this woman a lot. Scientists always try to find science explanations to things. Why not believe that God put things in order. There is a point where science can not explain animal behaviours.

[@nzhousewashing9505]

I think his name should be Spasitel which is rescuer in russian.

[@YukiTogawa]

Dearest Nan Hauser, This is Yuki Togawa. Sorry about the delay of my mail package. I'm trying to send something special in the package. It's taking time. I'm slow when I create. I know that my posting here finds you, azure, and galaxy herself in sync with time and space. When I am lost, I go back in time when I am beautiful in the kai with seaturtles, dolphins, monk seals, humpback whales, mantas, and my disco ball bobtail squids around the Polynesian islands. Through that pool of somatic marine life memories, I have you, right there like at a distance where I can see your smile with your goggles on. That space is my forever harmonic home where eons past and future are seemless, where I swim with no fear, doubt, self stigmatization, calculation, expectation, pressure nor expectations. The jellyfishes, sharks, killer whales, sea snakes, algae, munchan, mahimahi, sea cucumbers all enjoy equal existence value with me, a cluster of cells that forgot how to live in the ocean. I forget that I am human. I know that I came from the ocean and my mother will always will be Azure. I'm a close relative of luna, the waves, and sol. I dream of one day reincarnate into a sperm whale to dive the deepest darkest blue and snack on 25 meter squids. Such dreams are by far significant than owning a 1000 top properties on land, or to learn to marginilize in human language to gain digitally stored points in the banks mother data. I'd rather never come back to land human life, become a marine mammal, never see a human on land again, and live amongst my marine family, on a giant solar system, hydrogen splitter, microvibrational desalination unit, algae farm, automatic satellite navigation system installed, 400 footer schooner, 160 footer catamaran, 120 footer ketch, loved by a dozen of small and mid sized animals. Large fishing coastal birds, Occassionally, inviting a few wellness professionals assigned to a few girls and women that were adopted, under privileged, orphaned, trafficked, rescued from abduction, to stay on my yacht as we anker in a quiet lagoon sailing nearby prestine ocean, making seashell decorations, flower leis, making instruments, composing music, making friends that are not human, marine mammals, octopus, and eals or what their heart desires. Developing sensors installed plastic and net catcher floats to bring plastic and drift nets back to land for recycling or upcycling. Discarded nets are great material to upcycle and creating art installations for educational purposes. To learn to use major sciences, statistics to understand the mechanisms of carbon, methane, influence on seawater acidity, population, ecosystems, effects of man made chemicals, temperature, corals, beach survival, egg laying locations, real estate damages and huge seafood, tourism, reef losses from ocean rises. We will visit sinking islands where millions of people are being forced to leave their country with centuries of treasures, monuments, sacred spaces under seawater. Yes, we will study the most significant, our critically important relationship with whales. The general population deserves to have accurate data on what benefits whales have in our ocean. We need thousands and thousands of all the whale species. All over. We need their poop, their travel up and down to stir the layers of water to bring up the stale water on the bottom to the surface, and nutrient rich algae oxygen filled water on the surface down to the bottom. We once had thousands all over going up and down. Blue whales, mink, and humongous sperm whales were having feasts in the sea, singing love songs, playing, raising children swimming with other smaller mammals. The deeply significant spiritual experiences we are dependent on is the whales' ability to host our deceased love ones to visit us for a while, to come check how we are doing. We all have many years of ancestors watching us but we can't touch them, kiss them, share food with them, listen to music with them. So our love ones are invited into a whale's body to hang with us when we are suffering. When they look through your eyes, they directly touch your heart, and you can feel their longing for you. They kiss, hug, and play. Mostly watching you. Whales transport spirits. You will believe me when you have relationships with whales and change your view on everything. Imagine living on another planet with no whales... We must stop using crude oil, abusing the water cycles, cutting trees and cementing beaches. Drift nets and bottom trawlers banned. Stop killing everything to extinction. We end it now. Nan, I'll try to send my letter to you in MA.

The music is badly blended with the interview. It drowns out her voice in the beginning

[@vcom2327]

She is an amazing researcher. He is a not so great interviewer... Some silly questions and constantly interrupting her.

She mentioned a master code. It is THE MASTER'S code. God created the heavens and the Earth and animals before he created man. People don't want to believe in God but God is real! That's why she said it is built into the whales.

[@lamanley]

The Creator's qualities are perceived by what he has made, especially his great love. His word reassures us that he will intervene to save us, and all of life, before those (who WILL NOT CARE , and who only want to see the earth's ruin) have destroyed this planet. It's a promise. He does not lie.
