What We Do
The Three Pillars for Conversation
Our work revolves around three key pillars: research, education, and response. With a research focus on whales, we are driven to understand and reduce anthropogenic impacts on marine species. Our research directly influences our educational efforts to motivate behavioural change to reduce threats and inspire stewardship.
We are primary responders for dead, distressed, and injured marine mammals (as tasked by DFO) and assist with training of response volunteers.
Our research and education efforts inform communications around marine mammal rescue and response. Our research and education efforts inform communications around marine mammal rescue and response.
