The North Gulf Oceanic Society, a small non-profit organization based in Homer and Seward, Alaska, has been dedicated to whale research and education since 1984. Through their Photo ID program, they meticulously track over 950 killer whales in the Kenai Fjords, Prince William Sound, and the Gulf of Alaska, aiming to understand population health, the impact of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, food availability, and changing temperatures. Collaborating extensively with NOAA and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in Canada, the society strives to gain insights into a healthy ocean and compare whale trends in Alaska with those in British Columbia and Washington State. With secured funding for 2023 and support from the Alaskan community, they continue their vital work towards a better understanding of these magnificent creatures and their environment.Generated from the website
