Service Description

Take a deep dive with us to learn all about the orcas of the Salish Sea! This is an experiential learning series that will get you on the Salish Sea four times, build a deeper knowledge about the orcas of the Salish Sea, connect you with local organizations studying orcas of the Salish Sea, introduce you to environmental issues affecting local marine life, connect you with a community of other adults passionate about orcas, and provide ideas about the ways you can help! Additionally, students will meet local researchers during scheduled Zoom meetings (ex. Dr. Deborah Giles of Wild Orca, Holly Fernbach of SR3), and attend an in-person field trip to the Orca Survey Center in Friday Harbor. We purposefully curate a small, in-person, community learning experience (up to 6 participants per group). There are no virtual enrollment options for this course. All lessons and boat trips will launch from Skyline Marina in Anacortes, Washington. In the event of a weather delay, we will reschedule the trip.
