OBI was founded on the belief of openness and cooperation both in science and in our conservation efforts surrounding whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem as a whole. As such, we are proud to partner with the following organizations.
The Orca Behavior Institute is a labor of love for our researchers and Board members, and at this time our modest operating budget comes 100% from private donations. In addition to the many supporters of our annual T-shirt fundraising campaign, the following individuals and families have generously supported our work with donations of $50 or more:
