We spend half our time getting our feet wet in the field, wherever our work is needed, but the other half is spent using our science to inform smart decisions to conserve wildlife. We work from a tiny boat from a tiny island off the grid, off the northeast tip of Vancouver Island. We love it.<\/p>\n<h2>Dolphins of the Pacific Ocean<\/h2>\n<p>Much of our work in British Columbia (BC) is on Pacific white-sided dolphins. They live throughout the vast Pacific Ocean from Mexico to Japan, but the open water is a tough place to work. Luckily for us, these dolphins rely on a few fjords in BC where we study them, non-invasively, through photo-identification of individually recognizable dolphins that we track through time. We\u2019ve found dolphins using the same inlet for periods of up to 17 years.\u00a0 We\u2019re finding that dolphins have companions:\u00a0 we\u2019ve seen pairs of dolphins swimming together on several occasions more than a decade apart.\u00a0 <strong>Sadly, we\u2019ve also seen dolphins bearing scars from boat propellers and fishing gear<\/strong>, and we\u2019re working hard to better understand human-caused threats so we can propose solutions. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceansinitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/springdophinblogclip2.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to listen to dolphin sounds recorded by ORCA.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/dolphin-belly.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/dolphin-belly.jpg\" alt=\"dolphin-belly\" width=\"1000\" height=\"846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/dolphin-belly.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/dolphin-belly-300x253.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/land-dolphin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/land-dolphin.jpg\" alt=\"land-dolphin\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/land-dolphin.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/land-dolphin-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/3-dolphins1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/3-dolphins1.jpg\" alt=\"3-dolphins\" width=\"1000\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/3-dolphins1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/3-dolphins1-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Implementing Our Methods in the Oceans of the World.<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re now busy exporting our model of low-cost, low-tech, high return-on-investment science to countries that are not as well off economically as Canada is.\u00a0 <strong>We\u2019ve developed an inexpensive toolkit that helps people assess the health of whale and dolphin populations quickly. <\/strong>We\u2019re using the toolkit with whales and dolphins in Gabon, Congo, Colombia and Peru in the next year.\u00a0 Best of all, we train by doing \u2013 so we find partner NGOs in other countries, build capacity, and leave the tools and knowledge behind.\u00a0 That allows communities to assess whether dolphins are being affected by harmful fishing practices or proposed industrial development.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/RW_humpback_Pearse.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/RW_humpback_Pearse.jpg\" alt=\"RW_humpback_Pearse\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/RW_humpback_Pearse.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/RW_humpback_Pearse-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceansinitiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/OceansInitiative_Humpback_DouglasChannel_Ringtone-3.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to listen to the sounds of a Humpback whale singing in BC.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Sssshhhh!
