Pacific Orca Society is based in Alert Bay, B.C. and operates a land research station called OrcaLab on nearby Hanson Island. Our purpose is to learn about orcas and other cetaceans, sharing what we learn with people around the world, and to help protect them.  Our methods are non-intrusive, because we don't want to interfere with the lives of the whales.  Please visit our web site ww.orcalab.org for details of our research and education efforts.  Thank you for your support of our efforts!
