Cetus Research and Conservation Society is a non-profit marine conservation organization, founded in 2005 to address the increasing endangerment of BC’s killer whales due to human activities:  “We focus directly on one of the three key contributors to killer whale endangerment: vessel traffic disturbance. We work in the field to protect whales and other marine mammals from harassment and harm through research, education, and direct intervention.”

This presentation will explore the different species of cetaceans commonly seen in BC. We will discuss the local populations and ecology as well as the various threats they face and what can be done to mitigate them.

Lindsay Kolb has been working with Cetus since 2021. She holds a B.Sc. in Biology and Anthropology from the University of Victoria, focusing primarily on Marine Biology. Having always lived on the coast of the Salish Sea, Lindsay has been passionate about marine biology and conservation for as long as she can remember. She is grateful to be able to spend her time working to protect local cetacean species from human impacts.
