Janie Wray and Hermann Heuter have made a lifetime commitment to uphold the balance between all whales and the environment essential for their survival. They are aiming to accomplish this through research and a program that shares with all that can be learned these majestic mammals with a wide audience. Peter Verhoog & Georgina Wiersma made a trip to British Columbia to visit these engaged project leaders!
