Research
and Education
Cuda Marine
Adventures is committed to furthering research and education
on marine wildlife. We have spent six years tracking the behavior
and habits of the southern resident whales from j, k and l pods
as well as transient orca whales. Each vessel is equipped with
a daily log book which is used to record the behavior of orca
whales, California sea lions and other marine wildlife in the
area.
Since the
beginning we have been photographing and identifying individual
transient and resident whales to assist other research groups
in tracking the travel and behavior patterns of the whales.
We also
participate in fundraising through direct contributions, grant
funds and organizing fundraisers. Approximately $1 per ticket
is allocated to research.
