How you can help

This study offers a unique opportunity to acquire a glimpse of an animal that has managed to elude scientists for years. CWRF has assembled a team of scientists who possess the necessary expertise to accomplish the proposed objectives and who have designed an appropriate research protocol that should finally solve the long-standing questions associated with Orcinus orca in its Antarctic environment. However, studying killer whales in a remote place like Antarctica can be very expensive. To make this research expedition a reality, we need your help. Join our effort to increase awareness, knowledge, and appreciation for remote Polar Regions by providing financial or logistic support to our expedition. Together we can collect very important information for this IPY 2007-08 and increase global knowledge, awareness and understanding of this magnificent species, the killer whale.
