Our expert panelist of presenters dive into the cutting edge non-invasive techniques, technologies, and projects being undertaken by the BC Whales team to understand the lives and needs of whales along the coast. As whales continue to face increasing threats from ship-strike, entanglements, climate change, and ocean noise - the time to mitigate our impact is now. From hydrophones to drones and everything in between, learn about how the BC Whales team designs each unique research project with the well-being of whales in mind, and what actions are still needed from everyone along this coast to conserve and protect some of the most beautiful, iconic, and unique beings that inhabit it.

Please join us as our expert panelist of presenters will share their knowledge from years of studying the culture and acoustic tradition of whales, and how this connects whales to the ocean soundscapes within BC waters. Listen live as we play a selection of whale calls that unite orca families, cooperative foraging calls and the famous humpback whale song. Join us from anywhere in the world to learn more about whale behaviours, shared cultures, unique vocalizations, and how increasing ocean noise may affect their world. There will be a question and answer section after the presentations. We hope to see you there!

Join our team of presenters for an exciting webinar all about the whales of the Great Bear Rainforest with a special focus on our new and ongoing research projects. Watch live from anywhere in the world to investigate the culture, acoustic traditions, conservation genetics, and behaviours of the whales that call this region home.

Thanks to our wonderful team, who discussed the behavior of orca, humpback and fin whales, combined with genetics and acoustics to better understand the culture, habitat use and potential threats these whales face as their populations increase along the coastal regions of British Columbia.
