Our Marine Mammal Observer on board the @cunardline Queen Elizabeth had an incredible sighting of a bubble-net feeding humpback whale just a few metres from the shore in Icy Strait Point, Alaska today! Wow! 🐋🫧
This individual is known locally as Tucker.

Leaving Punta Arenas, Ocean Conservationist Tony & guests on @HurtigrutenEXP #MSFram enjoyed sei whales & 2 species of dolphin - Comerson's & Peale's!
We've also got Marine Mammal Surveyors on board collecting data to help us understand ship strike in the southern ocean.
We are on board!!! So excited to be on @HurtigrutenEXP MS Fram to conduct vital whale density surveys around #SouthGeorgia for @ORCA_web

We'd like to say thank you to everyone that donated to ORCA during the @ambassadorcruis inaugural ball. We were blown away by the generosity & raised £3500!
Anna & Emily from the ORCA team were delighted to speak with Ambience’s godmother @SallyGunnell about the partnership.
Our Wildlife Officer, Lily, is having a fin-tastic time on board the @BrittanyFerries Galicia with 9 pods of common dolphins & these beautiful striped dolphins sighted with dozens of delighted passengers yesterday! 🐬🐬🐬
Ready for our last Marine Mammal Surveyor Course of the 2020/21 season (our next ones aren’t until the autumn).
Looking forward to speaking with over 40 new citizen scientists about incredible whales, dolphins & porpoises & our surveying protocol.

Thank you @ORCA_web for your fantastic education material on whales and dolphins, they’ve kept our kids busy during the #lockdown! Lesson #10 on ecosystem engineers completed today 👍🐳🐬@Year4Hempland@2Hempland @HemplandPrimary
The students at @MeadowdaleAcad in Bedlington, Northumberland have been busy creating their acrostic poems about whales! Read their brilliant examples below #ORCALessons
How fantastic is this! Oran has been watching ORCA Lessons & has made a blue whale out of old milk cartons & fruits containers, plus written facts about blue whales to share with his class at show & tell. Amazing work, Oran!
