Abstract
This summer I spent eight weeks working as a research assistant at Cetacealab, a non-profit marine mammal research lab based on the southern tip of Gil Island on the northwestern coast of British Columbia. Cetacealab and its research outcamp at Ulric Point on neighboring Aristazabal Island were both constructed by the North Coast Cetacean Society, an organization dedicated to the research and protection of marine mammals, especially whales, in the coastal waters of British Columbia.
