Thanks to Camilla Stringer who kept tabs on all our matches and resightings and maintains this detailed catalogue. Over the three years of our film project we have taken 15 fluke ids in 2007, 62 in 2008 and 168 in 2009- that compares to the total inventory of 144 whale flukes ids in Bermuda from 1968 -2007. Of the fluke ids we have made in the last three years we have made 41 matches so far, some of them matched to photos taken in the '70s, over thirty years ago! Allied Whale has not yet had a chance to go through all our 2009 photos yet but the ones below stood out and were matched by Peter Stevick or Jooke Robbins to the Allied Whale catalogue. Roger Etcheberry in St-Pierre et Miquelon also matched some of 'our' flukes to flukes in his south-west Newfoundland catalogue or Reg Kempen's Trinity, Newfoundland, catalogue.

1998 – photographed over several days off Provincetown and not seen since, therefore probably ‘a transient that belongs elsewhere’.
