Here you will find detailed
information of the different populations orcas of the Pacific
Northwest. The pages contains information about the Northern and
Southern Residents, the Transients and Offshore Orcas. You will find
catalogues of their distinctive calls, photos and information about their
family trees. In the Library you find scientific papers about the
populations orcas, and at the Forum you are invited to discuss the
subjects or ask your questions.
This site is dedicated to all the scientists and orca advocates who
published their results of years of research so that we are able to
understand these creatures better and do the right things to protect them
in their natural environment.
Knowledge is the key to Protection
