Multiple pod calls audible.

The whales (A1s, A5s, A4s) are now in Johnstone Strait heading east. The boat noise is improving.

Boat noise

We've only been hearing boat noise for the past while. We think the orcas have headed east past Robson Bight but aren't sure. The boat noise is interfering with the Critical Point transmitter.

Orcas near mics.

The boat noise has gone & we're hearing calls on the Critical Point hydrophone again. Sounds like the orcas are still in Robson Bight.

We believe the orcas have travelled back to the west.

Orcas near mics.

The A12s, A8s and A11s have moved through Blackney Pass from Johnstone Strait to Blackfish Sound. There are at least two humpbacks in Blackney Pass.

No orcas present.

We believe that the A12s, A8s and A11s (A11, A56, A13) and A73 (Springer) carried on into Queen Charlotte Strait after 4:30pm.
