Long Cetacean Sightings Report: Orca, Humpbacks, Minke, Dolphins and Porpoise

There have been so many Whale and Dolphin Sightings covering a huge geographic area and range of species. This is a long catch up report again.
Volunteers are truly needed to help compile data in a more timely manner. In particular during the height of the season from June through September while more boats are on the water generating more sightings reports. Currently it is still only one person receiving and compiling reports.
Volunteers are also needed to help with compiling identifications of individual animals so that the information can be catalogued comprehensively.

Dall's and Harbour Porpoise
Dall's Porpoise were in larger numbers for a while at the top of Johnstone Strait, but have spread, in smaller groups, down the coast after a few groups of Transient Bigg's Orca passed through that area.
Harbour Porpoise are so shy and usually in smaller groups that with the larger animal reports, they tend not to get noticed or reported as frequently.
