BC Whales is interested in learning all about humpback, orca, and fin whales. Their goal is to conduct research in ways that are minimally impactful on the whales\u2019 lives. That means observing whales from the land, and using tools like hydrophones and drones to listen and watch from a distance. By learning everything they can, BC Whales can use scientific facts to advocate for the protection of our cetacean friends.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For their incredible dedication to research, conservation, and public education, we&#8217;d like to give a whale-sized thank you to BC Whales!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; These people have the coolest job ever.
