Dear MARMAM Community, I am currently working on an undergraduate research project at the University of Alaska Southeast involving killer whales in the Juneau, Alaska area. Despite the fact there have been numerous studies detailing the occurrence of killer whale ecotypes in Southeast Alaska, there is not much information on what kind of killer whales are found in the Juneau area. The goal of this study is to determine which killer whale ecotypes are found in Juneau and which ecotype is seen most often.
As I am unable to do a long-term field survey on the killer whales in this area, I am relying upon photos that the public, whale watching vessels, and other researchers have taken of killer whales in Juneau. If you have any photos of killer whales in Juneau that were taken in the years 2012-2016, I would love if you could email them to me at emmaluc...@gmail.com with the following information: - Date photo was taken - Location photo was taken (GPS coordinates are preferable) - Number of animals in the group It is preferable that the the photos show the left side of the whales, but it is not required. The saddle patch and dorsal fins should be visible. Thanks in advance for any help! -Emma Luck
