Our story
We go where the whales go
Saltwater Science began with a simple conviction: whales cannot be protected by studying them in isolation. They migrate across thousands of kilometres and dozens of jurisdictions, carrying the health of entire ecosystems with them.
So we follow. Headquartered in Newfoundland and Labrador, our fieldwork reaches from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and our partnerships stretch across the globe. We turn rigorous science into the evidence decision-makers need to keep whales, and the oceans, thriving.
