I do see the sealion & main cams appear live. Understand the rubbing beach and underwater video and sound are more difficult to manage. JudyC@Port Angeles WA 20 Apr 2024 13:43:28 PDT |

Will live stream come back? Understand Paul & Helena are "getting up in the years". So enjoyed the many years of live stream!!! JudyC@Port Angeles WA 20 Apr 2024 13:34:15 PDT |

Corky’s saddest day number 54
Today, December 11 2023 marks the 54th anniversary of Corky’s capture.
Unbelievable. It’s a single word, but it tells us everything we know about Corky. Her endurance: unbelievable, Her resilience: unbelievable. Her patience: unbelievable. Add any other superlative you can think of to explain how someone who has been shut off from and deprived of everything that made her is able survive day after day, month after month, year after year, decade after decade. I’ve long pondered this, and think I have the answer. She knows. Corky knows, absolutely, that people around the world are thinking about her and working to bring her home. That gives her hope. And her hope transfers easily to me. Like Corky, I believe she will come home.
Meanwhile, the Sanctuary Corky will come home to at Double Bay on Hanson Island is being prepared https://doublebaysanctuary.org/. Work on the old lodge is proceeding apace. It is already solar powered. Soon, the waters of the bay will be pristine again. First Nations, to whom Corky is family, are joining our quest. Step by step, Corky’s journey home is coming together.
That day will come.
Please join me and Helena in lighting a candle for Corky.
Thank you so much.

So sorry, Tim, but we are no longer able to edit coments on this page. Looking at your comment, I see that ou haven't posted our full address including zip code, so I think you are fairly safe. If you'd like me to I can ask our technical people in Japan for help. Just let me know. All the best and take good care. Apologies again, Paul paul@OL 24 Sep 2023 08:46:25 PDT |

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.

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. Oliver@Alder Bay Resort 18 Aug 2023 20:10:29 PDT |

Just saw a bunch of Orcas (about 7) heading east along the Alert Bay shoreline opposite of Alder Bay. Oliver@Alder Bay Resort 18 Aug 2023 19:55:09 PDT |

@ 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.

Does Orca Lab track those boats that appear to be coming along side the pods and report them? Brenda@Nanaimo, BC 15 Aug 2023 16:15:48 PDT |

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? Brenda@Nanaimo, BC 15 Aug 2023 16:09:30 PDT |

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. Tanita Bird@Sayward BC 24 Jul 2023 06:07:46 PDT |

Regarding the Alaska spring salmon closure, I understand a US Supreme Court overruled the lower court, so the closure did not happen. Tanita Bird@Sayward BC 23 Jul 2023 15:40:03 PDT |

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. Patti@Alberta 15 Jul 2023 17:28:38 PDT |

The A42s were near Hernando Island near Lund when i saw them on tour today :) Garry Henkel@Lot 5 Chinook Crescent 08 Jul 2023 16:27:04 PDT |

My question is,sometimes on Cracroft Point cam I see lots of debris logs,full trees and such on current,is this naturally occurring or from logging,mining?Thank you for sharing and everything you do! Dena Fox@PO box 1141 24 May 2023 12:21:51 PDT |

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. Markus@Victoria,BC 07 Apr 2023 18:12:55 PDT |

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. Sheryl@Sherylrayson@yahoo.com 23 Jan 2023 07:43:45 PST |

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. JudyC@Port Angeles WA 15 Dec 2022 20:20:24 PST |

This is so fantastic. I can't believe how lovely it sounds. Jen@Comox 30 Nov 2022 12:44:11 PST |
