Monitoring the Salish Sea

As our ancestors have done since time immemorial

Our goal is to combine traditional knowledge of the KELŁOLEMEĆEN  (Killer Whales) with modern technology to track their movements throughout W̱SÁNEĆ Territory. 

We are compiling a comprehensive dataset of "Indigenous Science" that accurately reflects the marine environment and its effects on Southern Resident Killer Whales.

We are creating a never before seen holistic data set that accurately represents the Marine Environment and impacts to SRKWs.

What we do

Four people standing on rocky shoreline near water, with equipment and logs around them, likely conducting an underwater research or cleanup.
Habitat Monitoring
Cliffs by the sea with numerous seals resting on the rocks and in the shallow water.
Baseline Monitoring
A few dolphins swimming in the water near a boat with people, on a lake with forested shoreline.
Compliance Monitoring
Campfire with wood and a fish on green fern leaves on rocky ground.
