  • When a Border Divides an Ecosystem

    Great episode! I live across the border in Canada and I am glad you are trying to highlight the Robert’s Bank expansion. This episode left me with a lot to think about.

  • Great podcast, keep it coming

    I really love this podcast, and am grateful for the work SeaDoc is doing here. The host is a great interviewer and lines up great guests. To be fair, in large part I feel they moved away from Orcas after the first season and onto the Salish Sea in general and the ocean in light of human impact, which I have enjoyed learning about, despite being non-Orca material. Obviously the argument can be made that this impacts the Orcas and is still relevant, and I’d agree, though I’d argue there are more r... more

  • Fascinating, educational and deeply moving

    I listened to this podcast non-stop over a week. Every guest had so much to share and the information was really pertinent not only to the plight of southern resident orca as a flagship species, but the ecology and spirit of the Pacific Northwest itself. As a new biologist finishing up my BSc this fall, this podcast has been a real lightning rod of inspiration for my future career. But you don’t need to be a biologist to love this podcast, all of the information is easily digestible. The point w... more

  • Great intro to how special these creatures are!

    I learned so much incredible trivia about the lives of these whales and how different the southern resident orcas are than the other killer whales. They have a distinct culture, for instance, they do a greeting line when the different pods encounter each other, which none of the other orca groups do! This podcast was so inspirational to listen to and gives you a window into what’s going on underwater just outside our doors.
