This is the fifth in a series of Orca Talks hosted by The Whale Trail. Now in its 15th year, FEROP has recorded the Russian pods and photo-IDed some 1500 orcas off Kamchatka and in the Commander Islands including three white orcas found so far in the study areas. In 1999 he co-founded the Far East Russia Orca Project (FEROP) to find out more about orca pods targeted for aquarium captures and to get Russian students involved in science and conservation of killer whales in Russian waters. He went on to study and work on conservation projects related to other whales, dolphins, sharks, deep sea creatures, ants and social insects, working in Costa Rica, Japan, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Argentina, Chile and other countries. He proceeded to spend parts of the next 10 summers with orcas, culminating in his now classic book Orca: The Whale Called Killer.
Join us for this rare Seattle appearance by noted author, whale researcher, and marine conservationist Erich Hoyt.Įrich Hoyt's first killer whale expedition to Johnstone Strait sailed from Victoria, BC in June 1973, 40 years ago this June.
