Welcome to the Great Alaska Killer Whale Count!
We want to know if you see a killer whale on March 1- 7 , 2003.


Very little is understood about killer whales (Orcinus orca) in Alaska.

Knowing where killer whales are is essential for directing
future research.

THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP!

For the week of March 1 - 7, 2003 we would like you to watch for killer whales in Alaska.

We would like to know two things from you:

1. Where you went on those days and
2. Whether you see or do not see any killer whales

Any information you can share with us about killer whales will be kept confidential and will be helpful to our research.

Results from the July 2002 Count.
Where were killer whales seen during the July weekend count? How many whales were seen? Read about the preliminary results here.

2. Look for Killer Whales
On Saturday March 1 through Friday March 7, if you are on the water, please look for killer whales
 


3. GET YOUR PRINTABLE Alaska Killer Whale Count Form here.
If you are on the water any time between March 1 and March 7 please fill in this form. It is just as valuable for us to know if you did NOT see killer whales on these days.

 


4. Spread the Word!
We like to hear from boaters throughout the state. If you know someone who might be on the water March 1-7 please tell them about the Alaska Killer Whale Count.
