      <image:caption>Jude has his own unique scars in his saddle and dorsal. Compared to his catalog photo which was taken in 2019, his dorsal looks very different. He began to sprout early last year and now his dorsal is so large it’s begun to lean a bit to the side. He also has many new scars that are visible in his saddle patch showing that he’s probably been fighting with seals or sea lions.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mike Campbell - Co-founder Mike graduated from the University of Victoria with an Environmental studies and Political Science degree. He campaigned for Greenpeace before he began guiding whale watching tours from Vancouver. Mike quickly realized he wanted to spend his time on the water, so he acquired his captain's ticket and has been happily bringing people and whales together ever since. Mike and Jilann are co-founders of Vancouver Island Whale Watch and their goal is to offer BC's most sustainable whale watching. That's why VIWW's tours focus on the growing populations of transient orca and humpback whales, rather than the endangered southern resident orca.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jilann Lechner Campbell - Co-founder Jilann has an interdisciplinary background with a degree in biology and fine arts from Simon Fraser Univeristy. She has worked in the Salish Sea whale-watching industry for many years. Jilann has worked on Humpback Whale research projects with the Alaska Whale Foundation and Cetacealab. As well, she has worked on research projects on the effect of fish farming on wild salmon populations. She is also a researcher with Keta Coastal Conservation, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to researching humpback whales in the Salish Sea. Jilann and her husband Mike are the owners of Vancouver Island Whale Watch and when they aren't working they enjoy spending time together at their home on Gabriola Island.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Val Watson - Office Manager Growing up in Nanoose Bay, Val spent most of her younger years in the intertidal zone or on a fishing boat. This curiosity quickly grew into a deep love and fascination with the ocean and all the amazing wildlife that it contained. Following this passion, Val attended the University of Victoria and obtained her Marine Biology Degree! Throughout her time there she learned more about conservation and decided she wanted to work on the water. Soon after graduating Val joined the Canadian Coast Guard and moved out to the East Coast, where she trained on both large and small vessels in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Winter proved to be too much for this island girl, so when she found herself back on Vancouver Island and the opportunity to work for Vancouver Island Whale Watch arose, Val jumped at it as the mix of education, conservation, and boats was exactly what she was looking for. No matter if it’s as a Naturalist introducing our guests to the Salish Sea, as a Captain guiding the tour safely through the waters surrounding Nanaimo, or as Office Manager connecting with guests in the office, Val is always thrilled to share her knowledge and passion for the ocean!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Rodrigo Menezes - Operations Manager Rodrigo Menezes is an Oceanographer with a Master’s Degree in Conservation Biology and a deep love for the marine environment, especially marine mammals and seabirds. He worked on marine conservation projects for more than 16 years in Brazil, monitoring the population of Southern Sea Lions and Fur Seals in two Wildlife Refuges and along the shoreline. He also has more than 6,000 hours onboard experience in the industrial fishery fleet monitoring the accidental capture of seabirds, sea turtles and marine mammals. Now he has been studying the amazing marine life of the Salish Sea. When he is not on the water looking for whales, he likes to go hiking, paddling, and birdwatching.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cheyenne Brewster - Web &amp; Media Manager Cheyenne was born and raised here in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Her family runs a small hobby farm and as a child, she quickly learned the importance of animal welfare. She helped her mother care for various injured creatures, including mice, birds, rabbits, cats, and horses. Cheyenne has studied Biology and Natural Resource Management. She has been with VIWW since 2019 - you may see her leading tours as a Naturalist or working in the office as the Web &amp; Media Manager. Cheyenne has many family connections to the coast and marine life of British Columbia and loves to be a part of it herself. In her spare time, she likes to adventure and focuses on her personal wildlife and landscape photography. She hopes to continue spreading awareness to the general public about the importance of all species on the planet, from the smallest bacterium to the largest animals.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vanessa Vereschahen - Marine Naturalist Vanessa was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Despite it being so far away from the ocean her passion for the marine environment burned bright even through the blizzards the prairies threw at her! Her fondness for the environment was fueled by her obsession with nature documentaries from a young age - she could not get enough of them. This sparked her drive for wildlife film and photography as well. She wanted to be just like her heroes David Attenborough and Steve the Crocodile hunter! It definitely helped growing up with a family that enjoys nature and the outdoors too. All those camping and hiking trips just reinforced her love for nature. She always knew she wanted to work on and around the water, so with that, she moved to the coast! After attending courses through the Marine Education and Research Society and Safer Ocean Systems she now enjoys being able to showcase the beauty she sees in nature to others as well. With protection for our environment at the top of her list. Vanessa hopes to one day be able to volunteer for the whale entanglement team.</image:caption>

She was born and raised in Alberta but couldn't ignore the constant tug of the ocean calling her closer. This prompted her to move her family away from the long prairie winters and out to Nanaimo. She has a passion for wildlife photography and hiking.</image:caption>
