Increase salmon abundance:

• Choose sustainably harvested seafood at grocery stores and restaurants. You can use the Seafood Watch tool.

• In the Puget Sound region, volunteer with Whale Scout and other organizations to plant native trees and restore salmon habitat and check out the Cedar River Salmon Journey every fall.

Help reduce underwater noise and disturbance: 

• Out on the water, follow the Be Whale Wise speed and distance regulations and guidelines at a minimum.

• If you're in WA or BC, report any whale or dolphin sightings to the Whale Report Alert System, which will warn ship captains so they can avoid hitting the animals. Download the WhaleReport app to your smartphone or fill out the short form.
   

Listen live to Orcasound hydrophones, browse historical recordings, and join in as a community scientist.
