Orca Strandings and Rare Events
Over the past decade staff from the Center for Whale Research have participated
in several rare events throughout the region that have included Killer whales.
Working in conjunction with personnel from the National Marine Fisheries Service,
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, numerous NGO's and local volunteers,
staff from the Center for Whale Research have played an integral role in rescuing
and releasing Killer whales back into the wild here in Washington State waters.
