KULO LUNA - Grace and beauty, these giant fins propel the whale at considerable speed over thousands of miles from feeding to breeding grounds and back. Humans are still killing whales for food and oils. We are doing our best to draw attention to their plight with this modern Moby-Dick.
Moby-Dick was written by Herman Melville in 1850 at the height of US commercial whaling. This amazing literary work has inspired many films and other adaptations, such as two fairly recent television series.
Herman was in turn inspired by real whales sinking real whaling ships, such as Mocha Dick and the sinking of the Essex in 1820.
Kulo Luna was inspired by the film Moby Dick, starring Gregory Peck as Captain Ahab in the 1956 film. This general theme was updated with plastic pollution as potentially a bigger threat to whales all over the world, and the people that eat them illegally, from bio-accumulated toxification.
Climate change is also woven into the plot, where the humpback whale, Kulo Luna, is rescued by an ocean adventurer in a solar powered boat.
You can read Moby Dick online for free using the links below. It is an epic read, but well worth the experience, and an education in what it was like in 1850 aboard a whaling ship. We hope you enjoy it:

MARINE LIFE - This humpback whale is one example of a magnificent animal that is at the mercy of human activity. Humans are for the most part unaware of the harm their fast-lane lifestyles are causing. We aim to change that by doing all we can to promote ocean literacy.
