Donate Money To make strong points to politicians and local decision makers we must conduct more research to back up the work we have already done. To accomplish this, we need your financial help. No matter how small or large a contribution, it will make a difference in helping us to protect our whales. You can send your donations to Orca Relief, P.O. Box 1969, Friday Harbor, WA, 98250. Or donate now by clicking here	Report Harassment Click here for a list of phone numbers that you can report harassment to including National Marine Fisheries Service and all whale watch operators in Victoria, B.C. and the San Juan Islands. Send Orca Relief and National Marine Fisheries Service an email: harassment@orcarelief.org Your report to National Marine Fisheries Service and whale watch companies can really have an impact. With your phone call a warning can been issued against a whale watch company. This just goes to show how much of an impact you can have. If you have a camera or a video camera, please document the harassment. It will help us to get protection.

Collect data Do you live in the San Juan Islands or on Vancouver Island? Fill out this data sheet whenever you see killer whales and whale watching boats in the same area. These data will be analyzed and results will be used to support our cause to government agencies. Click here for the data sheet.	Tell your friends Please tell your family and friends how important and threatened our orcas are. The more people are aware of the plight of these animals the stronger we will be in requesting changes and protection.
Volunteer We need help to protect the health and stability of the San Juan Orca population. To join the ranks of ORCA volunteers, please call (360) 370-5554 or email info@orcarelief.org.	Reduce use of pollutants in your home Even in your home, you can make changes to protect the environment. One of the main 3 problems the whales are encountering is water pollution. This comes from agricultural and domestic pesticide and herbicide uses. By using organic cleaners such as 7^th Generation (www.7thgeneration.com) and avoiding using fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, we can all help decrease the amount of pollutants going into our waters.
