Ocean Wise Sightings Network
Project is inactive
As one of the longest-standing and most successful citizen science programs in Canada, the BC Cetacean Sightings Network (BCCSN) has gathered cetacean (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) sighting reports from volunteer observers of diverse backgrounds for over 22 years. When you report sightings, large ships in your area are alerted so they can take measures to avoid a ship strike or disturbance.
WHAT
Help scientists monitor the distribution and abundance of cetaceans
HOW
If you see a cetacean or sea turtle in B.C. waters, use the WhaleReport App to report what you see
WHERE (LAND)
North America
WHERE (SEA)
North Pacific Ocean


WE REALLY ENJOYED CONTRIBUTING TO THIS WELL DESIGNED AND USEFUL PROJECT WHILE SAILING FREERANGER IN BRITISH COLUMBIA!
