This afternoon at #ABS2025 join Dr. Erin Wall as she describes our collaborative research on "Humpback whale song development in the North Pacific feeding grounds". Today at 2:45 in the Vocal Variance session. @bcwhales.bsky.social @marine-valeria.bsky.social @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social

Congratulations to Erin Wall @erin-wall.bsky.social for her presentation on Humpback Whale bioacoustics at #ABS2025. 🐋🎶 I wish I was there to join in the excitement of this year's @animbehsociety.bsky.social meeting. Many Canadians are with you in spirit, animal behaviour colleagues!

Our small cabin was built in partnership with the Gitga’at first nation and WWF-Canada. This summer we will observe and document as the first LNG tankers transit out of Lewis Passage, cross Squally Channel into Otter Channel as they transport LNG product from Kitimat to global markets.

Happy World Wildlife Day! Our work is focused on understanding the needs of whales and protecting their essential habitats and ecosystems for generations to come. Treat every day as if it were World Wildlife Day, and look out for all life on our planet, from the smallest algae to the biggest whale.

The advancements in science have opened a whole new world in understanding whales. It is now possible to determine the sex and family connections between whales by collecting and analyzing their DNA though non-invasive methods. Read More - bcwhales.org/newsletters/... #bcwhales

During a recent interview with CBC Daybreak, BCWhales Research Manager and drone pilot Grace Baer discussed the ways we are able to utilize drones to broaden our understanding of whales. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... (Grace starts at 52min)

Our work with drones allows for an entirely new perspective into the lives and behaviours of whales. We can monitor the health and body condition, witness social bonds and better understand the intricate dance of bubble net feeding. bcwhales.org/newsletters/...

2024 was a great year at BC Whales. Through diverse non-invasive research spanning the north and central coast of BC, we continued our lifelong work to better understand and advocate for whales and the habitats essential to their survival. Full Newsletter - bcwhales.org/newsletters/... #bcwhales
