      <image:title>Learn - How Can I Help Protect the Orcas?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Protect fish populations. Killer whales, and many other marine mammals, can’t survive without healthy fish populations. Be sure your seafood choices aren’t depleting their food supply and harming the marine ecosystem on which we all depend. You can vote with your dollars by supporting salmon-safe farmers and businesses in the Pacific Northwest who work to reduce their impact on local watersheds. Find a list of these certified suppliers here, or look for the salmon-safe logo wherever you shop.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sam joined SR3 as a research associate in 2023, after several years of collaborating with SR3 on projects using aerial photogrammetry projects to study free-ranging cetaceans. Sam’s first exposure to photogrammetry was when she was pursuing her Master’s degree in Environmental and Ocean Sciences at the University of San Diego, where she analyzed aerial images to describe group composition of common dolphins in southern California. Sam’s current work with SR3 uses aerial photogrammetry to characterize behavioral metrics of Southern Resident killer whales, health of gray whales, and behavioral response of dolphins to Navy sonar. In addition to cetaceans, Sam has researched a variety of other marine organisms, including pinnipeds, ichthyoplankton and intertidal algae. When she’s not poring over aerial images and data, Sam enjoys hiking, knitting, and reading.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Paige Casler is a Research Associate who has been working with SR3 since 2017. Her work has focused on using photogrammetry to investigate body condition and overall health of a number of different large whale and dolphin populations, including bottlenose dolphins in Southern California, humpback and killer whales in Antarctica, and Southern Resident killer whales. Paige gradated with her Master’s degree from the University of Miami in 2017 in Marine Mammal Science and has since been involved in cetacean stranding investigations, boat-based field work to collect photo-identification and photogrammetry data, analysis of photogrammetric and photo-identification data, and microbiome research with next-generation DNA sequencing and bioinformatics of 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun metagenomic datasets. Paige is currently analyzing photogrammetry images of Southern Resident killer whales as part of SR3’s long-term health monitoring study on the endangered population.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In recent years, by linking changes in the body condition of SRKW pods to the abundance of specific Chinook salmon stocks in the summer and fall, SR3 has been able to identify priority salmon stocks critical to SRKW survival.  This information helps guide conservation managers in decisions on fisheries harvests of specific stocks, and helps focus restoration priorities for important salmon habitat.

      <image:title>Impact Stories - Three Simple Ways You Can Protect Killer Whales!</image:title>
      <image:caption>We know that Southern Resident killer whales primarily eat Chinook (aka King) salmon, but identifying specific salmon stocks that are most critical to their food supply has been challenging in the past. Now, research from SR³ and colleagues has linked changes in SRKW body condition to the abundance of specific salmon populations in different areas! For the whales in J pod, their body condition in late summer is linked to the abundance of Chinook salmon returning to the Fraser River in the preceding summer months. L pod whales’ body condition is connected to how many Chinook salmon are returning to the Puget Sound in the summer. For K pod, it’s likely that their summer diet comes from a variety of Chinook populations, since their body condition didn’t correlate with salmon abundance from any specific area or tributary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Impact Stories - Rare Winter Data on the Condition of L Pod - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Aerial image of a group of L pod whales from the Southern Resident killer whale population. This group is being led by the population’s oldest member (L25, estimated to be over 90 years old), and also includes its youngest member (one year old, L125). This image was collected using a remotely controlled octocopter drone that was flown non-invasively &gt;100ft above the whales in January 2022 under NMFS Research Permit # 22306.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>L72 pregnancy: The picture panel above shows her shape change between September 2019, when she was several months into pregnancy, and recently in July 2020 when her increased width at mid body clearly indicates she is in the late stages of pregnancy. Pregnancy in killer whales typically lasts 17-18 months.

      <image:caption>Aerial images of adult female Southern Resident killer whale “J17," displaying very poor body condition on May 6th 2019. Note the white eye patches that trace the outline of her skull due to a reduction in fat around the head. Her condition is contrasted to September 2018, when she was also very lean but had not yet developed such an obvious "peanut head", and to September 2015 when she was clearly pregnant (note width at mid body) and in peak recent condition. Images obtained by Holly Fearnbach (SR3) and John Durban (NOAA Fisheries’ Southwest Fisheries Science Center) using a remotely-piloted drone under NMFS Research Permit #19091.</image:caption>

Interns will also develop and conduct a marine mammal research project. This is a two- to three-month long, full-time, unpaid position. Housing is not available, and the intern is responsible for having reliable transportation. Due to the seasonal nature of our patients, internships are available from June through November. Each internship opportunity may vary slightly depending upon our patient load and other factors.</image:caption>
