What can you do with all that trash you collect? Make birds of course!
Check out the latest video from our Plastic Free Salish Sea efforts to see how students on Orcas Island got creative with the beach trash they collected.

The Whale Warning Flag Study
If you would like a flag for your boat email us at mrc@sanjuanco.com
In 2018 we launched the Whale Warning Flag pilot study and associated education and outreach campaign aimed at shifting boater behavior around whales. We are collaborating with Soundwatch and SRKW experts to collect and analyze data on compliance levels and general boater awareness of how to behave in the vicinity of whales.
Help us out by taking our 2019 post-season boater awareness survey!
Learn more about our projects and how you can get involved by attending our monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the month at San Juan Island Grange.
