In this episode, your hosts Angel Fisher, Director of Conservation, Zia Yazdani, Conservation Manager, and Tanner Oswald, Conservation Coordinator with the British Columbia Métis Federation, continue their mission of bringing ocean conservation to the forefront while highlighting the unique cultural perspective of the Métis community.

We are especially excited to welcome a remarkable guest: “The Orca Man,” a dedicated orca expert whose passion for killer whales has shaped his remarkable work.

In this episode, he shares the story of how he first became captivated by these apex predators and what led him to a career centred on their study and preservation.

You’ll hear him recount close encounters with orcas, describe their unique behaviours, and explain why these majestic animals hold such a special place in the marine ecosystem. From the challenges facing orca populations to the reasons they continue to inspire awe, this episode dives deep into the world of killer whales and the critical efforts needed to protect them.
