Sound Check: A Quiet Sound for Killer Whales

Join us for Quiet Sound's Annual Update, where mariners, researchers, and regulators come together to discuss the progress made in protecting Southern Resident killer whales in the Salish Sea. This year's update will cover:

• New thermal imaging and acoustic detection capabilities
• Emerging best practices for vessel operators navigating shared waters with whales
