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
