Overview

Who We Are We are the Puget Sound chapter of a community of people who are interested in whales, dolphins, porpoises, and the marine environment. The Society is committed to cetacean conservation, education, and research. We're all different - young, old, scientific, nonscientific. We're all the same - curious. We like to hang out and talk about whales and nature, about what they're doing locally, about local and international discoveries & news, whale books, whale movies; and sometimes about birds or seals or flora, and usually salmon too.
