The core of Cascadia’s work revolves around populations studies using the tools of photo-identification, genetic sampling, and tagging. The data generated from these activities form the foundation of all our research efforts, enabling us to track individuals, estimate populations, and better understand the behaviors of these species. This information is crucial for developing effective management strategies aimed at species conservation. Cascadia also responds to large whale entanglements and marine mammal strandings. The data collected during these responses, combined with insights from our population studies, play a vital role in understanding and addressing the threats these species face, and are essential for supporting their recovery.
