To Orca Lab... When I posted on June 18, Orca lab chat page, I thought my address was requested for verification and did not suspect or expect it to be published. Could you please remove my address or barring that, the entire post? I have been emailing every day since June 18 and your inbox is always full. I messaged you via Facebook and got a reply that it would be removed but it hasn’t been. Thank you. Tim McGuinness.

Such a sad day to lose Toki... Orcanetwork doing everything to bring her back to home waters in Salish sea. After 50+ years in captivity. Trust Corky is OK. Captures were so evil...

Correction?. There are at least 12 (nice to have them all on one pic😉), still heading East and are now on the western tip of Pearse Island.

@ Brenda. Orca Lab does not “track? anything but whales. As far as errant boaters are concerned, Orca Lab will properly report as observed, which we should all be doing a s a matter of routine.
Tanita@VanIsle
16 Aug 2023 08:11:31 PDT

Does Orca Lab track those boats that appear to be coming along side the pods and report them?
Brenda@Nanaimo, BC

I believe the A23’s have been very active on the camera and in Johnstone Strait with vocalizing. Would love to know if they are exhibiting hunting behaviours?

Sunday July 23, evening. Orca Behavior Institute report: After 13 days, the A42s finally decided to leave the Campbell River area, and we got to catch up with them this morning for a bit north of Malcolm Island, BC.

Regarding the Alaska spring salmon closure, I understand a US Supreme Court overruled the lower court, so the closure did not happen.

Oh no, I am saddened to hear about Surf passing away. That is terrible news. I fondly recall his birth, watching him grow up & I spent a great deal of time with him many years ago. He was so special. I'm sure he's reunited somewhere with his cousin Blackney. Those two were close back in the day I dearly loved them both.

The A42s were near Hernando Island near Lund when i saw them on tour today :)

Hello everyone :), as I sit here waiting for the summer to approach, I'm itching to know if there are any sightings out there in general from orcas, or humpbacks etc. It's funny how when you're not around looking out at the water that sometimes, something sneaks passed the area :). I know that some of you know what I'm talking about when I say that :). Here's to keeping an eye out.

This might sound cheesy, but I'm so thrilled to finally see and hear the orca live! It's been almost 8 years since coming here and failing to see or hear anything and this time I can, so thank you it has made my interests in orca revived. I appreciate you all and I hope to hear some humpback one day.

Hello, We have the chance to visit vancouver island late august/beginning of september 2023. we are poassionated by wildlife. We'll spend 5 days at grizzly bear lodge, a full day on the sea is included in our package. Once back on the main island, we would like to add one complete day on the sea to increase our chance to respectfully try to adire killer whales. We would like to know if you could advise us. We'll spend couple of days between Telegraph Cove and Port Hardy. Is there a recommended company in this area. no bug boat, something small and respecfull. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

With profound sadness, the Center for Whale Research announces the passing of our beloved founder and longtime leader Kenneth C. Balcomb. https://www.whaleresearch.com/kcb Ken’s family and loved ones surrounded him in his final hours on December 15, 2022. He was 82 years old. Ken was a pioneer and legend in the whale world. But more importantly, he was the North Star, a guiding light. Over half a century of whale research and advocacy, he lit a path for tens of thousands to follow. He was a scientist with a deep-rooted love and connection to the whales and their ocean habitat. He inspired others to appreciate both as much as he did.

Paul, Thank you so much for your reply! First off, I'd like to thank you for this very important work of studying these magnificent creatures. You are teaching me so much I never knew, and in turn you've also encouraged me to seek out more references to learn what I can. I know I probably talk too much on your live cam.😂 I will be in touch soon! I'm only sorry that my donation won't be more.
