Whale Museum

http://www.whalemuseum.com/ 

This is a fabulous site for whale education. The actual museum is
located in Friday Harbor, Washington, but you should definitely
check out this
site. The main goal of this site, and probably the museum, is to
"promote stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem
through education and research."

So why don't we start in the "Education" section. Here you can
learn about: the issues facing orcas, how you can help, whale
watching, and much more. I found it interesting to learn of
issues orcas are facing that I never thought of like noise
pollution (underwater noise) due to vessel
travel in the waters.

At this site you can also learn how to help, or if you want, how
to adopt an orca. You'll probably also be interested by the "In
the News" section.
There you'll learn that a new species of baleen whale was
possibly discovered, and that Keiko died in Norway. Keiko was the
whale that
starred in "Free Willy" and was later released.
