Our mission is to bring the stories about all things Orca into the homes of Orca lovers everywhere.
Our annual kick off date is on the third Sunday of June’s Orca Month. Next year’s event will run from the 15th through the 21st of 2025. Starting on Sunday, each day of the week will feature images and stories about the different regions where Orcas most commonly reside and visit.

“If I were to draw a map of the world and place an orca graphic in every sea and ocean where you would find orca (Orcinus orca), it would soon become a very busy picture. There are an estimated 50,000 individuals distributed throughout the world's oceans. They are the most widely-ranging of all cetaceans and are considered to be the second-most widely-ranging mammal on the planet, after humans. Orca are most commonly found in areas constituting high marine productivity, from the equator through to polar waters."
