​​We are a registered Canadian charity promoting conservation and understanding of marine ecosystems. We are based on northern Vancouver Island in the Territories of the Kwak̕wala-speaking Peoples.

Our work revolves around three key pillars: research, education, and response. With a research focus on whales, we are driven to understand and reduce anthropogenic impacts on marine species. Our research directly influences our educational efforts to motivate behavioural change to reduce threats and inspire stewardship. We are primary responders for dead, distressed, and injured marine mammals (as tasked by DFO) and assist with training of response volunteers. Our research and education efforts inform communications around marine mammal rescue and response.
