Join us in celebrating the 18th annual Orca Month in Washington State! Throughout June, you can participate in virtual and live events to raise awareness about Southern Resident killer whales and the challenges they face, including reduced Chinook salmon (their favorite prey) and water pollutants. Visit OrcaMonth.com for a full list of events where you can learn about actions to promote a healthier future for all.

Friends of the San Juans will host community beach clean-ups on June 15 on Orcas Island and on San Juan Island with Friends of the San Juans, Orca Network, and Wild Orca. Help us remove microplastics and other marine debris that harm orcas, birds, and other marine life. Join us in making a difference!
