The ocean covers 70% of our planet and teems with life; some still waiting to be discovered.

Countless creatures rely on ocean habitats to survive (yes, that includes us!)

On World Wildlife Day, we celebrate the incredible life beneath the waves & the vital role the ocean plays in all our lives.

Over the weekend, the T36/T36B and T99 matrilines of Bigg's (mammal-hunting) killer whales paid the area a visit. Here they are in front of Anacortes, WA before continuing south into Puget Sound near Tacoma.

It's Fun Fact Friday! Have you heard of Cookie Cutter Sharks? The scars these sharks make on whales (like humpbacks) show us just how far these animals travel throughout the year.

With J Pod making a recent appearance in central Puget Sound, we thought it would be fun to look back and share a moment from an encounter we had with them (and J62) a year ago on Feb 20, 2025 at Cattle Point (San Juan Island).

Enjoy this short clip recorded by Jason! (full video link in comments)

#Repost from one of our Storytellers, Malgosia, from her vacation in Alaska. ⁠

"Even on vacation I save marine animals’ lives. But seriously people?! This started as β€œhey, is that a fishing line?” I must have pulled 50m of it, just left behind, twined partly on the dock, partly left in water! Ugh"

Fish-eating orcas switch prey across Alaska foraging hotspots - Oceanographic Southern Alaska’s orcas have a diverse, seasonal diet of salmon and groundfish, challenging belief that Chinook dominate their prey.

According to a new study, fish-eating orcas in Alaska have a far broader diet than previously understood. Unlike endangered Southern Resident orcas (76 individuals), there are ~1,000 resident orcas from Southeast Alaska to Kodiak Island.
