Our Projects

We focus our efforts on three specific research areas, but routinely collaborate with other organizations to conduct specific projects. If you are interested in collaborating, please contact us.

LARGE WHALE RESCUE

BWRI’s highly experienced staff are trained, equipped and authorized to respond safely to reports of large whale injuries and entanglements. We also routinely consult with and train teams globally for this dangerous and critical work.

MARINE MAMMAL ASSESSMENT

We use the latest technology (Unmanned Aircraft Systems with high resolution visible spectrum and infrared cameras) to make a detailed health assessment and document marine animals, both healthy and compromised health individuals.

COASTAL SHORELINE CLEAN-UPS 

Stopping trash and plastics from entering the oceans and waterways is the first step in helping marine animals. We routinely organize coastal shoreline clean-ups, both on rivers and beaches, to pick-up and document the extent of the pollution problem.  

SCIENTIFIC CONSULTING 

BWRI’s scientists and extensive network of experts, ranging from video and graphics development to technical writing, can assist in strategic development from the start of your scientific research and study needs, all the way through effective communication to stakeholders.
