Quiet Sound orca whale protection program launches website

We’re honored to serve on the Leadership Committee of Quiet Sound, a collaborative program to reduce the effects of noise from large commercial vessels on orcas. The program launched its website last month, following more than two years of engagement and planning as a result of the governor’s Southern Resident Orca Task Force, and we’ve been involved in the entire process since inception.

We chair Quiet Sound’s Whale Notification System Work Group and participate in several other work groups within the program.
