On a remote island in the Canadian Pacific populated by wolves, ravens, and two whale researchers, is a town with the promise of a second industrial boom torn between the wish to protect its territory and the pressure to cope with investors.

We will be joined by SWAG members Janie Wray and Eric Keen for a Q&A after the movie with timely updates on the cause.

Janie Wray is SWAG Co-Lead and founder of BC Whales, where she studies the acoustic dialects and social connections of orca, humpback and fin whale populations.

Dr Eric Keen is the Visual and Risk assessment manager for SWAG and studies baleen whales on the West Coast of North America.

SWAG - Ships, Whales & Acoustics in Gitga’at Territory is a collaboration between the Gitga’at First Nation, BC Whales (North Coast Cetacean Society) and WWF-Canada to develop real time tracking tools for whales and ships, and collaboratively develop mitigation measures to reduce the impact of commercial shipping on four populations of at-risk whales in one of Canada’s most important whale areas.
