The Center for Whale Research

The Center for Whale Research is an organization dedicated to studying and conserving whale populations, especially the orcas (killer whales) of the Pacific Northwest. They conduct rigorous research, track individual whales using photo identification and other methods, and monitor their health and social structures. Their work helps provide crucial data on whale behavior, population dynamics, and threats such as habitat loss and pollution. This information supports efforts to protect these marine mammals and ensure their long-term survival. The Center's work is vital for understanding and preserving these intelligent, important members of marine ecosystems.
