Connecting people with whales of the Pacific Northwest.

“We are all intricately connected, from tiny plankton to forage fish, salmon, orcas, tall firs and cedars, mountains, rivers and the ocean. It is time to reflect, to reconnect, and to respond as better caretakers of our planet.”

— Susan Berta, Orca Network

Where are the whales? How can we see them?

Orca Network's Whale Sighting and Education Project encourages observation to increase awareness and knowledge about the Southern Resident Community of orcas (J, K and L pods), Bigg’s Transient orcas and other cetaceans, and foster a stewardship ethic to motivate a diverse audience to take action to protect and restore their critical habitat.

 

All are welcome to the Langley Whale Center.

Orca Network’s Langley Whale Center on Whidbey Island, in the Salish Sea, celebrates and shares the lives of gray whales, orcas and other marine mammals of the Salish Sea.

How can we learn about whales, and how can we help them?

Looking for resources for students, teachers, scientists, advocates? Here are scientific papers, videos and acoustics, marine mammal information sheets, and more.

 

She needs to return to her home and family.

She learned before her capture in 1970 how to be a Southern Resident orca and is fully capable of returning to the Salish Sea waters she grew up in. Now the marine park has a new owner. Do we have a new opportunity to bring her home at long last?

What to do if you find a marine mammal on a beach.

The Central Puget Sound Marine Mammal Stranding Network (CPSMMSN) responds to strandings in Island County (Whidbey & Camano Islands), and northern Snohomish County. To report stranded marine mammals call 1-866-ORCANET.

Orca Network is a non-profit organization connecting whales and people in the Pacific Northwest since 1996.
