Harbor Porpoise Identification: Exciting Research With A Porpoise!

Harbor porpoises are very common in the Salish Sea but hard to study. Pacific Mammal Research (PacMam) is a research organization taking on this task as they use identification methods to investigate the behavior, ecology, and conservation of these marine mammals. On this episode, Dr. Cindy Elliser, Founder of PacMam, shares with us intriguing insights they are learning about these animals through their work, such as their longevity, site fidelity (including remaining or returning to their birthplaces), & social dynamics.
