We found this #humpback #whalesong on our Barkley Canyon hydrophone today 🔊🐋. At this time of year we regularly hear males rehearsing the same song before heading south to woo potential mates. This song recorded in Nov 2019 is similar: nitter.cf/Ocean_Networks/status/… #knowtheocean
Happy hump(back) day! On a rainy day in the Strait of Georgia our @icListen hydrophones picked up a beautiful whalesong being performed by some far away humpbacks whales. Turn your volume all the way up to hear this charming whale rendition of "Singin' in the Rain"🔈#knowtheocean

Fantastic new article by @sofia_osborne featuring some of the work I do on Saturna with @_sfrey_ @SIMRES @UVicResearch The #SRKW are in serious trouble and they need humans to take decisive and meaningful actions, are these sanctuary zones enough to save them!?! #forthewhales

If you see tail, fin or spray—stay far enough away. It’s the law. #MarineMammals. For more information visit: ow.ly/Pgd430oWFfN

Every family has a story! Killer whales are very social animals that live in stable, family-related groups called pods. Female whales are the leaders of their families and they often share food with their calves even after they have grown up! ow.ly/stZp30ijESa #FamilyDay
