What happens during each session is deliberately varied to make it more interesting for the whales. Like wild killer whales, Bjossa is extremely social. We encourage visitors to watch as often as possible. A unique way to watch Bjossa is from the Aquarium's underwater viewing gallery. Public sentiment is with us.
Many people have a romanticized view of the wild.
Diseases, pollution, increased boat traffic, sound pollution and overfishing are real and current issues for wild killer whales. The need for public education regarding killer whale conservation is greater today than it has ever been. Killer whales are top predators of the ocean ecosystem. Changes to that ecosystem affects whales in ways that people may not think about. Killer whales' very survival may depend on it.
