We are a group of volunteers with an immense passion for the ocean, especially orcas! We have been collecting data since 1987! It is our responsibility to continue the study and conservation of orcas and promote awareness about these incredible cetaceans.


Some of our big projects include continuing our long-term population study of orcas, looking into predation patterns and cultural transmission, and working with other nonprofit groups to delay salmon fishing in Monterey and bring awareness to dumping sites and pollution off the California coast.
