About Us

Saltwater Science is dedicated to understanding and protecting the ocean through research, community science, and education. Based in Newfoundland and Labrador, we focus on the health, behaviour, and conservation of baleen whales, with an emphasis on the North Atlantic humpback population. Our work combines rigorous field research with public participation, building the knowledge needed to protect whales and the ecosystems they depend on. 

At Saltwater Science, we ensure our research findings inform conservation policy and management so that whales and marine ecosystems remain healthy and resilient for generations to come.
