The Whale Museum: promoting stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem through education & research

In the Pacific Northwest of the United States lives the Southern Resident Community of Orcas, an endangered population of orcas, sometimes known as "killer whales".

The Whale Museum, located in beautiful Friday Harbor, Washington, opened to the public in 1979 as the first museum in the country devoted to a species living in the wild. Today, our museum continues to promote stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem through education and research.

Soundwatch Intern

May 2019 - August 2019 Friday Harbor, WA
“The other interns, coordinator, and drivers made it so great. The amount of on the water experience is hard to get anywhere else, and the data collection is a great way to practice field data collection and then using Excel in the office. Friday Harbor is such a cute town to live to make it even better!”
