This month on the Whale Tales Podcast we welcomed Dr. Cindy  Elliser and Kat White from Pacific Mammal Research who tell us all about Harbour Porpoises in the Salish Sea including what they’ve found in their incredible long term work (which you can read about it their latest publication!).







While we do get pretty detailed about Harbour Porpoise mating in this episode, the biggest warning you need is that we also talk about seals 🦭 but don’t worry, its just a little bit. 😂
