28 July Cetaceanlab reports:
On Thursday we finalized the setup of a new hydrophone station in Wright Sound.
Just minutes after the start of the transmission, resident Orcas were audible. I guess that’s what you call perfect timing. It turned out that the I31s were traveling north in Wright Sound, heading for Verney Passage. It did not take them very long to be out of the range of the new hydrophone station and the first orca visit on the “Hartley Bay Whale FM station” was history. Hopefully they will be many more to come.

The I31s came back the next day traveling south through Verney Passage in the late morning before we encountered them in Whale Channel just before sunset.
