Learning from Whales without Impact: BC Whales cutting edge Techniques Technologies and Projects

Join our expert panelist of presenters as we dive into the behavior and acoustic traditions of whales along the coast of BC. We will discuss cutting edge techniques, technologies, and projects the BC Whales research team use to understand the lives and needs of whales along the coast of BC. From hydrophones to drones and everything in between, learn about our unique research projects, designed with the well-being of whales in mind, and what actions are still needed from everyone along this coast to conserve and protect some of the most beautiful, iconic, and unique beings that inhabit it.

Whale Culture, Communication, and Ocean Noise

  

Please join us as our expert panelist of presenters will share their knowledge from years of studying the culture and acoustic tradition of whales, and how this connects whales to the ocean soundscapes within BC waters. Listen live as we play a selection of whale calls that unite orca families, cooperative foraging calls and the famous humpback whale song. Join us from anywhere in the world to learn more about whale behaviours, shared cultures, unique vocalizations, and how increasing ocean noise may affect their world. There will be a question and answer section after the presentations. We hope to see you there!
