The movement of whales in the Southern Costs of Sri Lanka had been under scientific scrutiny for the last decade and was well documented by The Voyage of Odyssey, the second research vessel to do research on marine life off Sri Lanka's southern coast in 2003. 

"To see a Blue whale at sea is something most of us can only dream about. To see more than one in a lifetime is a rarity reserved for a fortunate few," Genevieve Johnson, a research crew member, was quoted as saying in one of the reports in 2003, commenting on abundance of whales in Southern seas of Sri Lanka.
