Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study of the marine ecosystems of Clayoquot Sound. In particular, we monitor the movements of the gangs of Bigg's killer whales which frequent the area, with the aim of understanding the population's spatial dynamics for conservation purposes.
If you spot killer whales on the West coast of Vancouver Island, we would love to receive your observations. Please provide the following:
-Photos of the killer whales
-Time/date/GPS coordinates (recorded automatically)
-Approximate sea state and wind speed
-Number of individuals
-Any observed behaviour (if possible), including species hunted
-Sightings platform and distance from killer whales
Thank you- we could not conduct this research without you!
