The Center for Whale Research, based in Friday Harbor, WA, is dedicated to the study and conservation of the critically endangered Southern Resident killer whale population in the Pacific Northwest. With over 48 years of research, they collect detailed demographic data on the orcas, record births and deaths, and study their behavior and ecology to inform conservation efforts.

In addition to their research, the Center for Whale Research takes action to preserve Chinook salmon habitat by purchasing a 45-acre ranch along Washington State's Elwha River. This initiative aims to provide a sustainable food source for the Southern Resident orcas and support the recovery of the Elwha River ecosystem, contributing to the conservation of these iconic marine mammals.
