I would like to introduce a new UK-based orca awareness campaign sponsored by British Divers Marine Life Rescue called Orca Aware.
BDMLR: Orca Aware is a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about wild and captive killer whales found around the world. It is an information campaign which will act as a source-pool for scientific, educational and journalistic material reporting on killer whales.
As part of the campaign we are running a blog which addresses different areas of orca biology, research and conservation. A blog that we are working on at the moment is called "Orca of the World" and it is doing exactly that - taking a look at the different orca populations found around the world, with a short profile for each and photographs for illustration.
We have already had a lot of support from orca researchers who have been fact-checking our profiles and providing us with photographs to use.
The blog is nearly complete now, but I have a final photo request for the following populations:
Pacific Northwest Offshore
Kamchatka, Russia
Punta Norte, Argentina
Norway
Strait of Gibraltar
Crozet
West Coast Community of Scotland
There is also a request for someone to fact-check the following profiles:
Kamchatka, Russia
Crozet
Strait of Gibraltar
Any photos supplied / help provided will be credited as requested!
If you are able to help with any of these requests, please contact campaign leader Sam Lipman at samantha.orca@gmail.com
Many thanks!
