Eco-Friendly Adoption: a new way to support the mission of The Whale Museum and further help the Southern Resident Orcas!

Many of the orcas in the Southern Resident Community are available for Eco-Friendly Adoption.

Pictured below are sample Eco-Friendly Virtual Adoption certificates.

In order to enhance the image(s) used, certificates for your computer desktop may vary.

(Note: The birth of a calf is rarely witnessed by researchers, so it is difficult to determine the actual birth date. Periodically, we gain new information which may change birth years. Birth years are established by the Center for Whale Research based on the best science at the time.)
