Research Approach

Dr. Spong's research is premised on the belief that wild animals can be studied without interfering with their lives or habitat. This approach precludes pursuing orcas by boat. Instead, OrcaLab monitors and documents the orcas' activities via a network of passive hydrophones (underwater microphones), video cameras, observers placed at land observation sites, and radio reports.
