This Orca Action Month, WAIF is proud to support the Orca Behavior Institute in raising awareness for critically endangered Southern Resident killer whales.
For the month of June, WAIF will host one of 75 unique artworks featuring life-size orca dorsal fins on display throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
WAIF animal care technician Ashton Mead is an Orca Network volunteer and naturalist-in-training. Stop by our Coupeville shelter and ask for Ashton at the front desk to learn more about Southern Residents, this community art project, and how we can help conserve our iconic local orca pods.
