With over 3000 hours of volunteer research expeditions, educator Bill McWeeny has never seen Calvin the right whale.

Bill McWeeny
Calvin was spotted 4/23/2025 South of Martha's Vineyard after missing for three years! Time is precious. With an estimated 380 endangered North Atlantic Right Whales left, and the dangers they face daily from climate to human activity, every minute counts. Will researcher/educator Bill McWeeny meet Calvin, the right whale who has inspired this teacher and his students for over two decades before it's to late? "It's Only Right" is their incredible story.




North Atlantic Right Whales are a protected and endangered species. Approaching closer than 500 yards is illegal.
The Calvineers Movie is funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by
the National Endowment for the arts.
